If You Like Sheep, You'll Love Muskoxen!


The last time we went to Maihaugen (the open air museum of old Norwegian buildings in Lillehammer), we met an interesting lady knitting in one of the little houses. Her name is Wenche, and she hand spins and knits muskox wool. She said the wool is 8 times warmer than sheeps' wool, and it is softer than angora. Her website is: www.moskusdesign.com (It is in Norwegian, but at least there are lots of pictures for those who don't read Norwegian!)
