Our Fibers
Baby Alpaca
Baby alpaca is all of our favorite yarns rolled into one! It has the softness of cashmere, the lustre of mohair, the silkiness of angora and the durability of merino wool.
The name “baby” doesn’t mean that the wool comes from a new born, but instead that the fiber is exceptionally fine. It is extremely soft, light, durable and even hypoallergenic. The alpaca is sheared by hand once a year during the warm season, directly in Perù. Baby alpaca wool is up to seven times warmer than traditional wool because the single fibers act as thermal isolators, keeping the body warm by protecting it from the cold.
Organic Cotton
Our cotton is extremely durable and perfect for the hottest season. It is GOTS certified which is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibers.
Organic cotton is grown without the use of any synthetic agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides. It uses 91 percent less water than regular cotton and it produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions. In addition it is one of the most biodegradable fabrics, in a compost it generally takes about five months to breakdown.
