All black-and-white, mostly text, very few patternsNot worth buying. (

Disappointing. Interesting info re life in remote fishing villages, but reads like a travelogue with statistics re villages. No info re artistic heritage or development of patterns. Patterns are few and simple - interlocking motifs made with lines of yarnovers. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0966828976, Paperback)

Qiviut, or musk ox down, is a world-class fiber--luxurious, warm, and lightweight. People who experience it become obsessed. Qiviut makes perfect hand-knitted lace, as demonstrated by the Alaskan artisans of Oomingmak Musk Ox Producers' Co-op. This book presents how-tos for knitting and designing lace, projects suited to new as well as experienced lace knitters, yarn sources, and comprehensive cultural background.
