Fibre
The alpacas are responsibly farmed in the Peruvian highlands, where the spinning and dyeing of the yarn also occurs. Alpacas' impact is light on the land they graze which makes them one of the most environmentally friendly animals.
Where a synthetic thread would typically be used for the structural integrity of the bouclé yarn, a premium, long-fibre pure alpaca binder thread is used instead.
Fabric
Our alpaca bouclé yarn creates warm and playful knitted garments. Bouclé means that the yarn is made from looped fibre along the thread and when knitted it creates a lovely curly texture. It not only looks great, but also makes additional air pockets for extra warmth. This luxury yarn is made from the natural colours of alpaca fibres and remains completely undyed.
Factory
One of our newest knitwear suppliers is located in Peru. We chose to work with them because of their excellent skills, drawn from centuries of tradition using materials such as alpaca, cotton and wool, all of which are available locally.
