#HistoryStitch: Inuit Knitting Patterns – Between Qiviuq, Spirituality & Colonial Misunderstandings
For centuries, Inuit communities lived across the Arctic – from Alaska to Greenland. In this harsh environment, clothing was not fashion but a matter of survival. Using sealskin, whale tissue, fat, and Qiviuq (the underwool of the musk ox), they developed textile traditions that blurred the lines between knitting, nålebinding, and sewing.
