Quviut on the Brain

I appear to have quviut on the brain. It's a fiber I've been *itching* to try ever since I saw it at Stitches West 2009.

Of course, it's *expensive*, plus since i don't like lace weight yarn, I'd have to get the fingering or sport weight yarn, which is less yardage per weight.I don't even want to contemplate trying to spin it! Oof.

So, I started looking at various places that sell quviut and their relative prices. Not looking good in terms of expense. I might just wait a little while longer, at least until Stitches West 2010 and see how much Windy Valley MuskOx is selling them for there.
