Smokerings
(Nachaqs)

Our specialty item is called a "nachaq", which means hat or hood in the Eskimo language. The nachaq, also known as the smokering, is a seamless, tubular garment that may be worn around the head as a hood or worn about the neck as a decorative accessory to any outfit, functional and dressy. All patterns are copyrighted for the use of the members and are NOT for sale.
