Arctic Lace: Knitted projects and stories inspired by Alaska’s native knitters
by Donna Druchunas

The approximately 250 Native Alaskan members of the Oomingmak Musk Ox Producers’ Co-operative harvest the ultra-fine, ultra-soft underdown of musk-oxen, known as qiviut, and use the resulting yarn to knit lace garments whose designs are inspired by traditional designs and culture. Author Donna Druchunas has traveled to Alaska and brought back her experiences with these knitters and their wonderful textiles.

It's okay to drool, especially on your own copy.
