Materials: Primary fiber: Alpaca

HAND-SHEARED, HAND-SPUN, ORGANIC, UNDYED ALPACA YARN

Made with 100% Huacaya Alpaca
From the Peruvian Andes
Hand-spun on a pushka (drop-spindle)
Single-ply
Un-dyed, natural colour from the alpaca

SPECS:
1 ball of yarn
95-100 grams
900-1250 yards/lb (approx.)

This yarn is produced by weavers of the Illariy Ch’aska Women’s Weaving Cooperative in the rural highland Quechua community of Cancha Cancha, in the Sacred Valley of the Cusco province of Peru, located 3950 metres above sea level and only accessible by foot. Visit https://www.mosqoy.org/weaving-communities to learn more about this community or https://www.mosqoy.org/meet-our-weavers to learn about the specific spinner who produced your yarn.

All balls of yarn that Mosqoy Peruvian Textiles sells are approximately 100 grams (ranging from 95-100 grams per ball).

Please note, as with all hand-spun yarns, the yards per pound is approximate. Therefore, please order more than enough for your project to allow for variations in the yarn weight.

Please note that, though all yarns have been cleaned by hand, you may find tiny elements of Pachamama (Mother Earth) throughout your balls of yarn, since they are hand-sheared and hand-spun!

The profit from this sale directly supports the women's cooperative who spun this yarn as well as Mosqoy's charitable programs, working with highland Quechua communities to mitigate the adverse effects of unsustainable tourism and development in the Peruvian Andes while nurturing their threatened Indigenous culture.

Mosqoy is such an incredible organization and their products are unique, beautiful, and purpose-driven. I had the privilege of visiting some of the artisans who create their textiles and the time, effort, and craftsmanship that goes into these products is remarkable.
