Hand-knit Sweaters and Scarves

Our luxurious sweaters and scarves are made by Mothers in Action, a group of artisans who knit these and other wool textiles in Peru, particularly single mothers who need work to support their families. MIA started in 2007 with only 12 mothers, and nowadays has more than 250 women knitting in different communities of the Peruvian Andes. Not just about the knitting, MIA Peru also provides training and workshops about education, nutrition, and respect for the environment, using pure fibers to create high quality, ecologically-friendly products. The soft Hermi cropped sweater is a new update to a trusted classic, with coconut buttons and carefully crafted crochet edges for a finished look. The Upsy pullover sweater has a shorter front and dips a little longer in back, also finished with crochet edgeing. Both sweaters are hand knit with alpaca blend Caraveli / FT , 89% alpaca + 11% polyamide.
