Artisan Profile

Incas and Alpaca: A Treasured Bond

  • In the earliest Peruvian history, the Incas held alpaca fiber in higher regard than gold or silver, recognizing its immense value.
  • The knowledge and skill of spinning and knitting alpaca fiber have been passed down through generations, contributing to Peru’s diverse textile heritage.
  • Our throws combine new patterns with traditional techniques, giving them an innovative touch while honoring their ethical heritage.

Sustainable Practices and Ethical Treatment

  • Alpacas roam freely in the highlands of the Peruvian Andes, with no boundaries limiting their movement.
  • The shearing process is conducted without causing harm or distress to the alpacas.
  • Alpacas have soft padded feet, which are gentle on the grass terrain, allowing them to graze without damaging the root system.
  • Alpaca fiber comes in up to 28 natural colors, offering a wide range of hues without the need for artificial dyes.
  • The fiber retains its natural luster even when dyed, ensuring lasting beauty.

Unparalleled Qualities of Alpaca Fiber

  • Supple and Smooth: Alpaca fiber is incredibly soft and smooth to the touch, providing a luxurious sensation.
  • Ultra-Light and Warm: Despite its featherweight, alpaca fiber offers excellent insulation, making it warmer than lamb’s wool.
  • Natural Insulation: Microscopic air pockets within the fiber create lightweight clothing with superb insulating properties.
  • Chemical-Free Production: Alpaca fiber is completely natural, and no harsh chemicals are used during its production.

By choosing our chunky alpaca throw, you not only enhance your home with a stylish and eco-friendly accessory but also support the rich cultural heritage and sustainable practices of Peruvian artisans.
