ReplyDeleteThe 13th Warrior, excited for the added trivia of the muskox hides. I did not know that. Thank you
ReplyDeleteToo bad Antonio Banderas with short hair... But of course the answer is indeed 'The 13th Warrior.'
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind knitting him a pair of socks *wink* Especially if he would wear his hair like in 'Desperado.' To be honest: I haven't seen both films, are they any good?
Ciao, Fleur (Fleurtje-Eliza on Ravelry)
The answer is The 13th Warrior, from 1999.

ReplyDeleteI kinda love a lot your Unloved yarns!

The 13th Warrior, A movie that I loved. The direction was good, however the costumes and sets were fabulous. Who ever finds the items used in movies like this, or makes them is amazing. Where would one find tanned Muskox hides for this kind of production is amazing. That is really being authentic down to the last tidbits of what is real. I am impressed, as I had no idea they were really Muskox hides. Thank you for sharing and updating my bank of knowledge.. Lizzi
ReplyDeleteThe 13th Warrior - I haven't seen it but my interest has definitely been piqued!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your generosity!
That would be "The 13th Warrior" - a movie I look forward to watching on DVD because Antonio Banderas is one of my favorite actors.
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this give-away. Would love to win it!

I hope you are having a lovely day :)
Take care

The movie is "13th Warrior", the working title was "Eaters of the Dead", it was filmed on and near Vancouver Island. Recently bought a used vhs from a thrift store so we could re-watch it. My friend Jeannie Smith was one of the extras, she taught herself to use a stick then drop spindle while waiting between scenes. She regailed us with stories of the set, don't think she chummed with the stars, though!

According to Wikipedia, the movie is "The 13th Warrior". Based on a book by Michael Crichton, it was not very highly rated. But now that I now it has the source of my favorite fiber (muskox), I will see if my library has it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for doing these fun giveaways!

ReplyDeleteThe 13th Warrior! I too love both Antonio Banderas & qiviut!!!
ReplyDeleteThe 13th Warrior. I have just litterally stumbled upon your website & blog - I had no idea this type of yarn even existed - we have nothing like it in Australia that I've heard of, so I'm really curious about it now. Fingers crossed I get picked out for a thread or 2 to see how it knits & crochets up.

ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that they had to put down that lovely horse during the production of the film and that this movie did not do better. It's a great story.
The movie is The 13th Warrior.
ReplyDeleteRegardless whether I win or not I will be ordering from you some Muskox (Quiviut) wool to knit socks and keep the feet warm!!
