Description
A blend of 50 Baby Llama and 50% Lyocell (Wood Pulp)
Beautifully soft and drapes elegantly. We have used this to make shawls and wraps and a customer made a light open throw-over top.
Made in Peru
Alpaca Yarns based in NZ source alpaca wool from a supplier who has set up breeding ranches in the Andean highlands of Peru. Their main emphasis is on improving alpacas through sustainable breeding practices, and educating small farmers who own most of the animals throughout the region.
From the Mirasol and Michell y Cía websites:
In 2007, Michell y Cía launched the Mirasol Hand Knitting Yarns Collection together with several customers with the goal of sheltering, feeding and providing the best education possible to Andean kids in the Munani area of Puno, Peru.
The idea behind Mirasol Project is simple: To support the children of communities in Munani, Neque Neque and Mallkini in Puno with their education through the Mirasol School, with the sales of the Mirasol Hand Knitting Yarn Collection and donations from friends and other contributors.
