This story from CBC North concerns the problem of a pile of 15 musk-ox hides in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut that are rotting away. The story says the “pelts are purchased annual by a Prince Edward Island company that uses them to make high-end winter clothes.” What is this company?

It was on the news about 2 or 3 years ago that a PEI company was starting this up. Phone up CBC or check the BDPEI listings.
Qiviut is long hair usually brushed or combed from a muskox skin. The long hairs are then spun and used to make really expensive and very, very soft wool. Look for a weaver if you want to know who would want the hides.
I would think that the a lot of the longer hair would be gone once the skins have been dried, although the remaining hair might have value as well.
Google leads me to “Mini Mills/International Spinners in Melville, PEI”
I have a small sample of qiviut wool if you ever want to see it…very, very small sample - it’s very, very expensive.
The company also designs mills for small production weaving of exotic types of wool…fascinating place.
No. All praise Lord “has a lot of time on his hands and spends his day browsing the web at his employer’s expense.”
