The Qiviut Smoke Ring is a seamless cylinder of lacy knitted qiviut yarn. It may be worn just around the neck or around the neck and drawn up over the head as a hood. The name Smoke Ring was chosen for this innovative accessory since the qiviut is so soft and comfortable it is hardly noticeable except for its warmth. The Smoke Ring is elegant, but so practical it will become your first choice for everyday use in cold weather. It is about 18 inches tall and 24 inches in circumference, hand knitted in the Harpoon pattern from Mekoryuk on Nunivak Island. The pattern is derived from a 1,200 year-old ivory harpoon head found on the island. Weight is about 1.4 ounces.The color is the natural brown. Hand wash, dry flat. Made in USA. Please note: Each smoke ring is handknitted by a member of the Oomingmak Musk Ox Producers' Co-operative. Although the same pattern and number of stitches is used, the final measurements of the smoke ring will vary with the tension of the individual knitter.
