This 50% qiviut: 40% superfine merino: 10% silk lace yarn made by Nunavut Qiviut is sold in 1 oz skein and spun as a 2 ply. Each 1 oz skein is 190 yards/oz. Nunavut Qiviut fibre is dyed with Greener Shades non-metal dyes. This is a ruby colour. Dyed 50/40/10 qiviut results in a lighter tone than the colour of 100% qiviut dyed a ruby colour. The superfine merino and silk adds elasticity and strength to the softness and warmth of the qiviut which dominates the blend of this yarn.
