Lamana Piura

PIURA is a two-ply Lace yarn made of 100% baby alpaca wool with a meterage of 400 m on 50g (437 yd. on 1.76 oz.). Due to the slightly firmer twist, the yarn has a sturdy but still extremely soft and silky thread with a delicate fluff. We source the alpaca wool for CUSCO from Peru, where the animals are kept in their natural environment in the highlands of the Andes. Our Peruvian production partner is fair-trade certified and also a member of the Asociación Internacional de la Alpaca, a non-profit organization that upholds the outstanding Alpaca quality standard and ensures the economic, social and environmental sustainability. The local raw wool is spun directly on site and dyed according to the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 for baby products. PIURA is particularly versatile. Knitted individually, it is great for delicate scarves, especially lace patterns get a magical look through the light fluff. Worked double stranded in Fingering weight, it creates incomparably soft and light garments and
