 | | | ID: | 490 | | Title: | Oomingmak Musk Ox Producers' Co-operative | | Pagerank: | 4 | | Description: | Alaskan co-operative provides exquisite Qiviut items as a unique northern gift. Qiviut (pronounced "kiv-ee-ute"), the downy-soft underwool from the Arctic musk ox, is shed naturally each spring. Eight times warmer than wool and extraordinarily lightweight, Qiviut is one of the finest natural fibers known to man. Native Alaskan women from remote coastal villages knit each item by hand. Each village has a signature pattern derived from traditional aspects of village life and the Eskimo culture. | | Category: | Arts & Humanities: Ethnic Arts | | Link Owner: | | | Date Added: | January 21, 2007 08:16:13 AM | | Number Hits: | 4 | | |
