WHY DID WE START THIS?

Because we know the joy of making something with your own two hands.

“That feeling when your hook or needles glide through the perfect stitch, or when you wrap yourself (or someone you love) in something you made? It’s magic. And we wanted to be part of that magic.”

  1. A muskox farm in Alaska

    Windy Valley began with a knitter who wanted to work with her own animals’ fiber.

  2. Giovanna runs the shop today

    She brings in new colors, blends and designer patterns every season.

  3. Still a small fiber shop

    The rarest yarn in the world, run by someone who knits — and who answers your questions herself.

WHAT WE’RE ALL ABOUT

Every skein is a little treasure.

Our yarns are made from some of the finest fibers there are, sustainably and ethically sourced, because the planet matters to us as much as your craft does. Our qiviut is naturally shed each spring and gathered by hand.

We believe in slowing down, appreciating the process, and making things with love. Whether it’s a cozy shawl, a wearable work of art, or just an experiment — if you love working with beautiful yarn, you’re in the right place.

WHAT YOU CAN COUNT ON

How we run a small shop

Rare by nature

Our supply is set by what the muskox shed each year. When this year’s Natural is gone, more arrives after next year’s shed.

Honest by default

We name the price and explain it. Every unused skein is backed by our 30-day money-back guarantee.

Made for makers

We’re knitters and crocheters too. Ask us about drape, gauge, or which pattern suits your yardage.

Worth the hours

Heirloom fiber for pieces worn for decades. One skein is enough for a cowl, a hat or a lace scarf.

FOR MAKERS, BY MAKERS

It isn’t just about yarn. It’s about community.

We’re a small team of makers, dreamers, and fiber enthusiasts who get how important your craft is to you. We’re here to celebrate every stitch, loop, and weave alongside you.

So grab your favorite project, a cup of something warm, and stay awhile. We can’t wait to see what you’ll make.

Warmly, Giovanna

and the Windy Valley Muskox Team

Questions about a color, a pattern or a gift? I answer them myself.
