I went to my local knit shop and asked for qiviut. They laughed at me. When I was reading the article in Piecework about spinning the down of the musk ox to get qiviut yarn, it should have translated into lots of dollars in my head. Evidently it's very expensive, US$60 per ounce. It sounds like an illegal substance! So, my knit lady picked out a lovely baby alpaca/cashmere/silk blend and I knitted the headband. I really like it.
