'Niviuk' is a term meaning 'caress'--or more specifically, to give love in the form of squishy hugs, especially to a child. A happy and affectionate word, it speaks to the coziness and delight of this special fibre blend!
This highly luxurious yarn combines the rarity of qiviut (wild NWT muskoxen fibre) with cashmere and silk, for ultimate softness and fabric 'memory.' Like cashmere, qiviut is difficult to felt, and your knitted projects can be gently washed.
QIVIUT QUALITY GUARANTEE: At Qiviut Inc, our qiviut fibre is 100% sourced from wild NWT muskoxen sustainably harvested for food in Inuit communities. We comb out our fibre by hand to preserve the full staple length, and we make all our products here in Canada!
