ALL ABOUT OUR YARNS
Far up in the High Plateaus of Peru and Argentina, our yarns were born from farming communities and villages that continue the ancient Andean tradition of creating the worlds finest fibers. Here, herds roam freely and graze on natural vegetation, where Mother Nature's arid high altitude climate has perfected animal fibers to be durable, warm, ultra fine and naturally soft .

Naturally soft, not chemically softened.
We don't think the planet should suffer for the sake of our momentary convenience.
That is why we don't use synthetic fibers or harsh chemical treatments like Superwash (a form of bleach) to make yarns washable. We also don't use coarse yarns and coat them in chemical resins to artificially soften them.
We only source 100% natural yarns. It is the quality and fineness of the fiber we use that makes our yarns so soft.
