Qiviut Care Instructions

Washing: Qiviut will not shrink in any water temperature, take care for blended garments. Hand wash your qiviut in warm water with a small amount of mild detergent or shampoo. Wash blended garments in lukewarm or cool water. Soak your garment without agitating and gently rinse. Lay your garment flat on a towel and roll up to remove excess water. Lay flat to dry completely.

Storage: For ultimate protection from moths, place your qiviut in a ziplock bag and store in the freezer when not in use. You can also store qiviut in a cedar chest.

These fingerless mittens are an ox-cellent addition to any winter closet. They are knit by a fiber artist named Vickie. They are knit with a blend of 50% qiviut and 50% merino wool (Beginner's Blend yarn). The qiviut is gently hand-combed from the musk oxen here on our farm, and it provides the mittens with a wonderful softness and warmth. The wool adds durability, strength, and memory to the mittens.

The mittens will only get softer as they fluff up, or "bloom," over time and with more handling. So the more you use them, the better!
