Global News- Muskox wool unites Peruvian knitting family

Global News - Muskox wool unites Peruvian knitting family with hunting families from Canada’s arctic.

It’s as synonymous to Peru as hockey is to Canada, woven Muskox wool deeply into the cultural fabric of the South American country is the intricate textile industry.

Rainbows of hand-knit garments blanket shops and market stalls from the coastal capital to high up in the Andes.

Knitting and weaving are skills passed down through the generations in Peru but one family business has sewed together a unique partnership between two groups of people from opposite ends of the Americas...

Beautiful sweater

I love this sweater. I knit the same pattern in a shawl with Qiiviuk and hoped they would come out with a pattern to knit the sweater. If the pattern is offered, I'd knit another in a different color because I love how this sweater fits and the design. Very comfortable and soft.

Dear Susan,

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying the sweater and your knitting experience with us. Please stay tuned with Qiviuk and Windy Valley Muskox for the latest updates and new patterns.

Thank you for choosing our products, and happy knitting!

Felt like cashmere

Bought this for my dad, he said it felt expensive. A bit of a malleable fabric, it still felt like cashmere to me, so not cotton-level hypoallergenic, though tolerable as far as wool goes.

Have yet to test this for the upcoming winter, might buy again if it lives up to the hype.

We’re so glad your dad enjoyed the soft, luxurious feel. Qiviut is naturally lightweight and gentle, making it perfect for staying cozy all winter. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back if it meets your expectations!

My husband loves the hat. He said its soft, fits well and he likes the marled colors. We can’t review how well it keeps him warm because it hasn’t turned cool here yet. The company and staff were very professional when we needed assistsnce. Shipping was quick too! Thank you!

Hi Paige,

We want to thank you again for taking time leaving us your kind words.
Please enjoy your cozy new hat when the cooler days arrive!

This hat is stunning!! The color is perfect-a rich dark purple. The fit is spot on and it is so soft and cozy. I can’t wait for cooler temps so I can wear it. Shipping was quick and it arrived very nicely packaged. Thank you!

We’re so happy you love it! We appreciate your kind words and hope your new hat keeps you wonderfully warm this season. :)

Beautiful Blue!!

Beautifully woven And a really warm cap!!

Hi Sikes,
