Qiviut

Qiviut scarves and smoke rings

Ever wonder how a Musk Ox stays warm on the frigid coastal plain of Alaska? Qiviut, my friend, qiviut! Qiviut is the light under down from the belly of the Musk Ox. Eight times warmer than sheep’s wool and much lighter, it is the warmest natural fiber on the planet. Soft, delicate and deliciously warm, our selections from The Qiveut Collection are sure to bring a smile. Award winning fiber artist, Colleen White of Palmer, Alaska, produces heirloom quality qiviut treasures. We carry headbands and smoke rings and can special order a variety of other offerings. Truly an indulgence for yourself, a special friend or graduate, or World’s Best Mom.
