what we’re made of
Peruvian Alpaca
Why alpaca? Alpacas are curious, social and (we think) adorable. Their fleece is renewable, sustainable, and eco-friendly. They are also gentle on the environment- they only eat the tops of the grass, and their softly padded hooves have little impact on the land. Alpaca fleece is hypoallergenic, resistant to breaking and pilling, and a great insulator. Oh, and have you felt the ‘paca? It’s softer than cashmere. We promise you’ll never go back.
HOW WE’RE MADE
Handwoven and One-of-a-Kind
We collaborate with an organization that provides small-scale alpaca farmers and artisans an opportunity to work with international markets and to earn a fair wage. Our hand-knits are made utilizing traditional Peruvian methods to spin and dye our yarn.
We source our woven blankets from a factory with a focus on eco-friendly and social initiatives. Our blankets are produced on an industrial loom and finished by hand. All of our embroidery is done by a group of women artisans in Callalli, a beautiful region in the Peruvian highlands.
