There should be no difference what so ever. Qiviut (pronounced KIV-EE-UTE) in the Yupik Eskimo language, means down or under wool. It refers to the winter coat of the Musk Ox. It covers their entire body closest to their skin in the fall and they shed it naturally every spring. Most of the qiviut in the world will come out Canada or Greenland, from culling the wild heards. Although you can get it from a couple of places in Alaska. I work for Oomingmak Musk Ox Producers Co-operative. Its a co-op of knitters that hand knit garments made from qiviut yarn.
