Website | EmailLocated downtown in a small brown house with a full outside wall mural of musk oxen, this store holds the handiwork of more than 250 Native Alaskan knitters. In 1969, this cooperative began knitting the remarkable, downy soft underhair of musk oxen called qiviut. The result is an unshrinkable, soft but durable, ten times warmer than wool, material that makes beautiful scarves, mittens, shawls and hats woven in village specific patterns. A unique wearable gift, it is an exclusively produced product. Online ordering is available at the Web site.
