I'm a knitter and I thought I was doing bad when I paid $75 a hank.

I noticed the site Sheldon referenced doesn't have any qiviut
available. I wonder how vicuna and qiviut compare to each other, but
that's mostly a rhetorical thought since I'll never see or fondle
either. Oh well. At qiviut.com, 2 oz. skein goes for $80.00! Go
figure.

Vicunas were hunted nearly to extinction but conservation methods have
rescued this shy, graceful animal.

Yeah, right!!! Conservation methods in South America?!! They're deforesting
the things into extinction. What a great conservation effort to just shear
them and then send them back up to 12,000 - 18,000 feet and tell us it's
not intrusive and cruel.

Alas, I've never had the opportunity to stroke those particular fibers
<g>. One trick I've learned as a way to get some nice yarn is to buy
sweaters from thrift shops, then 'deconstruct' them. The prices for
silk, cashmere, cotton, and other natural fibers can be very reasonable
this way. Sure beats the price of qiviut.

Quivet is a new one on me. Had to look it up.... now I know the
common name is Arctic musk ox. I'd be willing to bet vicuna is
softer.

I bet there isn't much meat on their bones 😉 and I don't do bones
unless they are spare ribs or short ribs.

You can also felt those sweaters and turn them into just about anything.
(I do both)
