Stopped by the Oomingmak Cooperative to learn a bit more about qiviut and was not disappointed! Would definitely stop by to meet the wonderful staff and learn about the process behind how qiviut clothing is made.

A tiny freestanding store house in the middle of a business area. Paid parking on the street is on the other side of a nearly packed large pay for parking lot during normal business hours weekday. $1.75 in quarters will get you an hour. So, they have no parking right by their store. The store is tiny and has a few things out for example but not much other than hair or yarn samples in tiny tourist trap bags. If you want something they have them in bags filed away and you have to ask to see specific pieces. Best to look at examples online, educate yourself and then either buy through their online site or go with an idea in mind when you get there. They are very good at communicating about items bought through their site if they don't end up having the item you want. If they are busy, it could be difficult to get a good idea of what they have as there's not a lot of room or counterspace to stand at. Some items are backordered. But it's a great experience to go and actually feel the example pieces directly and then purchase as you see fit. They are worth the visit and consideration for a very beautiful, unique, and useful handcrafted item.

This is a small store that serves as an outlet for the sale of knitted mainly scarves and head scarves made from the Musk Ox underwool or quivit. This is basically the wool shed from the belly of musk ox. As it is a naturally collected product and the animals are not shorn to obtsin it, quivit is naturally quite expensive. This natural product is super soft and super warm. The wool is not colored or dyed. There are several patterns that are knit by different tribes in Alaska. If the visit and decide to but, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

A cooperative of 250 people knitting with musk ox wool, one of the world's warmest natural materials. Natural colors. A great story of sustainable fabrication by industrious people.

I love that each hat is handmade by someone different throughout the state! These are the warmest and softest hats I've ever worn! They are a little more on the expensive side but absolutely worth the money!!

It is a very small shop staffed with native personnel who are very familiar with the products offered. Musk ox is like cashmere. Very soft and very warm. Prices are what you would pay for most fur products. If you are in the area check it oyt

Local co-op specialized in musk ox fur products. Very pricey but fantastic quality, incredibly warm while light and soft.

Beautifully made, astonishingly warm and almost weightless. I have used their products for years in New York and was fortunate enough to visit their store in Anchorage last summer.
