About Musk Ox Producers' Co-Operative
Gift shops filled with handmade items offer a unique browsing and buying experience, and they give you the opportunity to purchase something one-of-a-kind for yourself or a friend. At Oomingmak Musk Ox Producers’ Co-Operative in Anchorage, AK, every item in their shop is made by one of the 250 Native Alaskan women who own the Co-Op. Underneath the wool of the musk ox, there is a soft, downy substance called Qiviut. Although it is eight times warmer than wool, Qiviut is surprisingly lightweight, making it perfect for climates of all kinds. The items in the traditional line are 100 percent Qiviut, or 80 percent Qiviut and 20 percent silk in the newer Tundra and Snow line. What makes the items from the Co-Op so fascinating is the original n

Must see when in Anchorage. Delightful shop with charming shopkeepers. Qiviut is a yarn made from the shed hair of muskoxen. It is luxuriously soft and all the products are made by First Nations people

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.

Lovely little shop in downtown Anchorage selling wonderful luxury wool items, scarves, hats, smokeRings, and more. Not just any wool, it is wild musk ox winter down which is shed in the spring. Quite pricey but so worth it for one of the rarest, all-natural fibers in the world. Collected and knit by indigenous artists of Alaska and using designs specific to the individual Native Alaskan village cultures. Expect a unique scarf to cost a bit more than $300, but also to learn about the art, the artists, the oxen, and about Alaska.
