This cooperative is owned and operated by 250 Native Alaskan women from remote villages who make beautiful hand-crafted items from qiviut, the soft underwool of arctic musk ox. Eight times warmer than sheep’s wool, this lightweight fiber is known for being very soft and durable. The shop specializes in scarves, hats, tunics and nachaqs, or “smoke rings,” circular-style hat-and-neck garments.
