MMario, those patterns and those shawls you have made are lovely. You, sir, are a man who loves beauty. So cool to be able to produce it.

Have you ever entertained the thought of knitting with qiviut? (Note no 'u') "Qiviut is the warmest, lightest wool in the world and can be made into incomparably soft garments that can be worn next to the skin. So soft you won't believe it!" I'm quoting from a site because it says it better than I can.

Qiviut is the underwool from a muskox and its texture, weight and warmth are mindblowing. It's like holding a warm cloud.

I'm afraid it is also expensive but one could do a little shopping.
