The availability of qiviut changes frequently. When I was working on Arctic Lace, I was able to obtain yarn for knitting and photos of fiber from only a few manufacturers. As we went to press, the companies listed in the book as sources for qiviut sell it as a raw material or in the form of finished items. Those who offer yarn supply high-quality materials that can be used for this book’s projects with beautiful results. I will update this list as I continue to discover new sources.
Check out my Arctic Lace knitting book published in 2006.

I am very curious about the lace shawl in the photo above with the Quivet article. Can you tell me more about it?
Good morning,
My name is Tanis Simpson and I am the owner of Qiviut Inc. We produce qiviut yarn in our mill which is located in Nisku, Alberta. I would love to be included on your list! I look forward to checking out your book! Thank you and have a great day!
Hi Tanis,
No problem. You’re on the list.
The lace shawl on this page was a very old project Donna did about 15yrs ago. 🙂 Don’t even remember the name of the pattern or where we bought it. Sorry.
