Wons runs Snowbunting, a part-time business, from her Fairbanks home. If you start talking about hours of work, you are talking about 75 hours of work, for all these items. Wons has been spinning with sheep's wool for about 20 years. She praises the material for its smoothness. I've never heard of anyone who has had a reaction to it of any kind.
Wons washes qiviuq with a bit of shampoo in warm water and carefully lays it out to dry.
She spins about eight pounds of the fibre each year. I like the end result. It's just beautiful. When you're finished, you have something in your hands that gives you pleasure and satisfaction in direct proportion to the work.
