Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

An Alaskan Native women’s cooperative provides them an opportunity to sell Musk Ox wool, Qiviut, knitted items. The designs are unique to each village and the income supplements their families subsistence living. A hat kit is the only yarn item for sale which I knitted! It is soft, warm and unique.

We visited in May 2019 for an Alaskan cruise. We had one full day in Anchorage and this was on my must see list. I had visited the shops website prior to our visit and was very interested in seeing the musk ox wool products first hand. The craftsmanship is stunning and the wool itself is so soft. We didn't get to see anyone actually making any products because we got there quite late in the day. The staff was very kind and helpful. I had saved especially to purchase a smoke ring scarf which I did and I was not disappointed. The items are quite costly but well worth it in my opinion. I wore it during our time in Glacier bay and it was weightless yet very warm. If you have any interest in knitting or crocheting this should be on your to do list.

This was a very quick stop for us but was extremely educational and chance to purchase a one in a lifetime item as a true Alaskan souvenir. Highly recommended, but be prepared to pay (a little scarf was $295). I will have this for my lifetime vs. t-shirts and sweatshirts that I don't need.

This is a shop where all the items are handmade by native Alaskans using Qiviut. Qiviut is musk ox hair and is very rare. It is, also, one of the finest fibers in the world. It is very warm and not scratchy like wool. Great stop.

It's nice to find a shop that is all local work that goes right back to the women in the villages. Definitely worth the money.

This cute little place is very pleasant and full of information about the musk ox and the creators of their wears. Stop here and feel the warmth of the products.

After visiting the Musk Ox Farm in Palmer, this was a wonderful addition to the experience of what happens after the undercoat hair is gathered and spun into yarn. The items were nicely displayed and available for trying on. Several women were working there, one actually knitting.

While in Anchorage on our way to board our cruise ship in Seward, we stopped in this shop in downtown Anchorage. It was an amazing story of the Musk Ox producers cooperative that hand knit qiviut handknits. We bought a scarve made out of the remarkable yarn. It was rather expensive, but it was hand made be Alaskan knitters.

This is a great place to visit where you'll not only learn the the history of the co-operative, but also how it helps supplement the income of the native people who produce goods to sold through the co-op. The story is free! I also enjoyed comparing knitted samples of different kinds of animal fibers. Musk ox hair is truly soft--much softer than sheep's wool.

I had visited the musk ox farm in Palmer and wanted to buy some Qiviut yarn for a friend to knit a hat but the price was higher than I'd expected to pay based on my online research. Oomingmak does not sell yarn (unless you want to buy the "lace weight" = really expensive) but they do sell a kit to make a hat/cap for $90. This was much more within my expectations for cost.
The staff was really nice/ helpful and the cooperative is a place that made me happy to spend money. It's such a unique way for people in more remote places to make a living & it feels good to support that effort. Even if you don't buy something, stop in & pick up a brochure to understand the story. You might even see someone knitting at the table there.
Items are expensive compared to prices for wool products but you can really feel the difference when you feel the samples at the shop & understand how easy care it is.

Est-ce que cette boutique vend aussi de la laine en écheveaux?
