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.
Silk is a filament fibre which means the fibre length is very long. This is why silk is both softer and stronger than all other natural fibres. Our premium-quality silk is sourced in China.
Fabric
Our soft and unique alpaca and silk yarn is specially designed to avoid the use of synthetic materials. Textured yarns typically are spun with synthetic thread that keeps its structure, but in our yarn, the synthetic is replaced by pure silk. The yarn is hank dyed which is a time-consuming process but ensures a depth of colour and a softer hand feel while keeping the natural properties of the fibre. Each panel is knitted to the shape of the garment which therefore creates less wastage. Panels and trims are attached using a hand-linking machine, resulting in a premium, high-quality garment.
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.
