The Musk Ox Producers' Co-Operative is a small, freestanding store that specializes in the sale of handcrafted items made from the soft, warm, and naturally-colored qiviut, the underwool of the musk ox. Visitors can expect a unique and educational experience, with the opportunity to feel the high-quality examples of the wool's softness and learn about the cooperative's sustainable fabrication process.
The store, though small, offers a variety of knitted scarves and headwear in different patterns, all created by the co-operative's 250 members across Alaska. While the store may not have a large selection on display, the staff is knowledgeable and happy to assist customers in finding the perfect item, whether through the in-store inventory or the co-operative's online offerings.
Parking can be a bit of a challenge, with limited street parking available, but the experience of visiting the Musk Ox Producers' Co-Operative is well worth the effort. Customers can expect a warm welcome, a chance to learn about this distinctive natural material, and the opportunity to support the cooperative's sustainable and community-driven business model.
