Purposeful Ramblings Through My Mind

Check this out. Qiviut, one of the world's most expensive fibres because it's harvested from arctic musk oxen who are in short supply in herds, in a blend with angora, silk, and alpaca, 25 grams for $7.95 USD. Just for comparison's sake, the 90% Qiviut yarn right above it is $150 for 100 grams.

The 25 grams is 200 yards, and it's laceweight, so that's a nice lacy mini-shawl, right there. I might make it into a winter cowl scarf, because there is no warmer fibre on the planet. I bought it in purple. :)

It's on my thumb because it came in hanks, and I wound it into a centre-pull ball using my thumb to keep the centre open. I've got six hanks, of which three have been wound into centre-pull balls, for a total of 1340 yards.
