Hand Knitted by Ruth, in Ruth's own design, inspired by the musk ox as they build a circle when threatened to fend off predators. This headband is sold ox-clusively at the Musk Ox Farm in Palmer, AK.

These headbands are hand knitted on a 20" circular needle. They each have an elastic around the base sides, to help keep shape. The base of each headband is made with a fine wool or a qiviut/fine wool blend. The musk ox bodies are made with qiviut— with the exception of the headbands listed below...

Rather than the musk ox bodies being made of 100% qiviut, as stated above:

The musk ox bodies are made with a fiber blend of 80% Qiviut and 20% Banana for the headbands: HB102, HB103, HB106, & HB107.
The musk ox bodies are made with a fiber blend of 80% Qiviut and 20% Bamboo for the headbands: HB100, HB101, & HB108.

A note from Ruth:

"I started knitting and crafting at the age of seven in my home country of Switzerland. In 1988, after backpacking around the world, I was fascinated by the sled dogs and settled in Alaska. My passion with qiviut began in 2004 and to this day it is my favorite fiber to craft with. My hobbies are canine sports, camping, and exploring Alaska's back country with my spouse, dogs, and horses."
