Artisan Profile
The bond between the Incas and alpaca dates back to early Peruvian history, where alpaca fiber was valued more than gold or silver. This deep-rooted tradition of spinning and knitting has been handed down through generations, creating Peru's rich and diverse textile heritage. Modern patterns meet time-honored techniques, honoring ethical heritage while adding contemporary flair.
The alpacas roam freely in the highlands of the Peruvian Andes and are sheared humanely. They graze gently, preserving the grass terrain. Alpaca fiber is unique, offering up to 28 natural colors and can blend into a wide range of shades, from deep black to warm chestnut and snowy white. It retains its natural luster even when dyed.
Alpaca is distinguished by its smooth and supple texture. It's ultra-light due to microscopic air pockets, providing excellent insulation while being softer than cashmere and stronger and warmer than lamb’s wool. This natural fiber involves no harsh chemicals in its production, making it an eco-friendly choice.
