Pair of muskox

Two muskox in the snow in winter, living in a compound on the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. Quiviut, the underhair of the muskox, is one of the warmest and most luxurious fibers in the world. It is 8 times warmer than wool and softer than cashmere. It keeps the muskox warm through the long bitter winters up north.

    Great catch and information. I'm allergic to wool, I wonder if I'd be OK with Quiviut?
