Tired of cold feet? Want to spoil yourself or a loved one with a true one-of-a-kind gift? Super soft, smooth, and warm Nunavut Qiviut Socks constructed from 30% qiviut, 50% superfine merino, and 20% nylon made into a crew style sock are a perfect solution.
"These qiviut socks are amazing! I wore mine with slightly damp boots and was out on the land but my feet did not get cold. With these socks and my caribou kamiks, they were toasty warm." - Amanda N. of Kugluktuk, Nunavut
"I got these qiviut socks as a gift. I tried them in the house and they were soft like a baby's bottom. On our first -30 day I wore these socks within a pair of my regular wool socks (I always wear 2 pair). I was surprised and impressed! My feet were so dry, warm, and comfortable. Now I reserve these qiviut socks for the coldest weather." Jake Gunson - Outfitter from Northern BC & Saskatchewan, Canada.

Nunavut Qiviut custom-made socks uses a 2 ply lace yarn specifically for this sock design. Both the superfine merino and nylon adds elasticity and strength necessary in a sock, with the nylon adds extra durability in the heels and toes. The socks are ribbed on the top of the foot and up the ankle and double ribbed at the calf. Like all our yarn products made in Canada and the USA, these socks are knit on antique knitting machines in the USA.
These socks are more than typical bed socks traditionally made from qiviut. Nunavut Qiviut crew socks can be worn as part of an everyday wardrobe, for special events, and in cold weather. Each pair of socks is made with 2-3 oz of Nunavut Qiviut yarn depending on the size.
