Qiviut

Soft, warm decadence
from the underbelly of a
musk ox, who thought it could be?
It’s eight times warmer than the fleece of a sheep.
The fluffy, fine fibre flows through my fingers like silk
onto the spinning wheel bobbin it gently twists,
making it’s way into beautiful yarn.
My knitting needles lie
in wait.
