Musk Ox to Garment

[@patogden856]

Thanks for posting this . I am amongst a favoured few who have had the opportunity to spin this fibre. Several years ago I was given some sheep’s fleece as a swap for spinning up some of the musk ox fleece . My neighbours at the time used to go to the place where they round up reindeer by helicopter (he being a pilot ) they also had the opportunity to pick musk ox fibre from the fences and brought some home to nz with them at seasons end . It was amazing , just about spun itself . Cheers Pat nz

Musk Ox Farm has been on my bucket list for several years. So excited to have a report from another fiber addict. Thank you!

[@rehashfiber]

That is great, you will surely enjoy it when you go. Be sure and get your qiviut. Thanks for checking out the show. ~Shiree

Will be going to Alaska in June and this will be at the top of my list!!

Hot Dog!!! I am thrilled for you. It's gonna be great. Be sure and load up on the qiviut. ~Shiree

I appreciate you sharing your video, I am enthralled! To say the least, I never saw anyone do the fiber separation (carding) with those two tools, I really feel humbled to learn about processes that date back to more than a thousand years or who knows how long, I was searching through KZbin looking for something like wool, that keeps you warm when wet, and qiviut came up , Boy what an eye opener for me . I am kinda confused by the nonprofit thing, and 3.00$ a gram, but I am going to try and get up there and see these places. Thanks again.

You're welcome. Enjoy your exploration. ~Shiree

[@peterivkovich2314]

from Gerry- You've had quite the adventure. Is the softness anything like angora? I've never felt qiviut. God bless.

[@rehashfiber]

That soft, but different. Maybe that's just because I knew where it came from. Thanks for checking it out. ~Shiree

[@KE-wk7kh]

so did you find in wearing it, that you prefer the feel over other soft fibers (cashmere, angora, etc)?

[@rehashfiber]

It's wonderful, warm, and soft. Each garment, from each fiber has it's special use. Love it all.
