The undercoat of the Musk Ox, also called\u0026nbsp;Qiviut, is\u0026nbsp;known as one of the finest and rarest natural fibres.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusk Ox\u0026nbsp;wool is very light and eight times warmer than sheep's wool. In addition, it is softer, more elastic and airier than cashmere. \"Qiviut\" means \"fluff\" and refers to the exceptionally soft\u0026nbsp;inner fur of the\u0026nbsp;Musk Ox. This wool protects\u0026nbsp;the animals during storms and the very low temperatures of the Arctic.\u0026nbsp;For\u0026nbsp;this very reason, the people in Alaska began to domesticate\u0026nbsp;Musk Oxen.\u0026nbsp;Today the animals are raised on farms, in Alaska, and their\u0026nbsp;undercoat\u0026nbsp;is hand combed, not sheared,\u0026nbsp;to produce this\u0026nbsp;high-quality yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur yarn is extra soft. The\u0026nbsp;wool fibres are delivered from Alaska. The yarn is spun in the city of\u0026nbsp;Quebec (Canada).\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusk ox wool is a very rare and unique natural fibre. The process of obtaining and processing\u0026nbsp;Qiviut wool is about eight times harder than that of other natural fibres. About 60% of\u0026nbsp;Qiviut fibres are comprised of the air ducts which give it is volume.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;This also explains the incredibly high insulation factor of Musk Ox\u0026nbsp;wool.\u0026nbsp;Although the layered coat of the Musk Ox is similar to that of cashmere goats , it is softer, finer and warmer. Only\u0026nbsp;5-6 tons of\u0026nbsp;Qiviut are produced a year in contrast to\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;350,000 tons of cashmere.\u0026nbsp;No wonder it is known as\u0026nbsp;“Arctic Gold”.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pascuali","offers":[{"title":"Musk ox (natural) 27","offer_id":47410732237081,"sku":"302151-0022-027","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Coal 29","offer_id":57708334547325,"sku":"302151-0022-029","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Burgundy 30","offer_id":57708334514557,"sku":"302151-0022-030","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pink 31","offer_id":57708334481789,"sku":"302151-0022-031","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Plum 32","offer_id":57708334449021,"sku":"302151-0022-032","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Navy 33","offer_id":57708334416253,"sku":"302151-0022-033","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Teal 34","offer_id":57708334383485,"sku":"302151-0022-034","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Sea Green 35","offer_id":57708334350717,"sku":"302151-0022-035","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Carmin Red 24","offer_id":57708308332925,"sku":"302151-0022-024","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/5116\/4697\/files\/991302159-ALASKA-3---100--MOSCHUSOCHSENWOLLE-302159-0022_507b4d3e-650c-4eab-aab1-6eb230658575.jpg?v=1773922726","url":"https:\/\/www.pascprouali.com\/en-lat\/products\/alaska-3-musk-ox-wool","provider":"Pascuali ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
