Peru
Alpaca sweaters, ponchos and blankets from Peru — browsed in our shopping app, knitted to your measurements when you ask.
Fleece is sorted by hand for shade and fineness. Baby alpaca goes into pieces worn against the skin; standard alpaca goes into outerwear weights that hold their shape.
Ponchos and ruanas come off the loom, sweaters off the needles and the machines our knitters have worked for years. Seams, necklines and fringes are closed by hand.
If the shelf size is wrong, we knit to your chest, length and sleeve. The same applies to a shawl you want longer or a throw cut for a particular bed.
Alpaca grows in ivory, fawn, rose grey, charcoal and near-black, so most of the collection is never dyed at all. Dyed shades are available on request.
Pieces leave folded with tissue and a care card, and export paperwork is prepared for orders travelling outside Peru.
The same pieces you see in the app, before they are folded.
What customers ask for by name. Tell us the piece and the shade; we come back with fibre options and a quote.
Crew, roll neck and button cardigans in baby alpaca and alpaca blends.
Open ruanas and closed ponchos, loom-woven and hand-finished at the edges.
Light enough to fold into a bag, warm enough for a cold bus at altitude.
Bed and sofa sizes, woven in natural shades with a finished or fringed edge.
Hats, chullos, gloves, mittens and socks — the small pieces people buy in sets.
A piece knitted from your measurements, shade and stitch, or a repeat run for a shop.
Alpaca is a natural fibre: shade and handle vary a little from piece to piece, and that variation is not a fault.
Send the enquiry form with the item, the shade you had in mind and how many. A link to something you saw in the app is enough.
You get the fibre options — baby alpaca or alpaca, natural or dyed — with the price for what you asked for, in writing.
We send a short measurement sheet and confirm the shade against the fibre we have on hand before anything is cast on.
The piece is knitted or woven, blocked, and finished by hand. We send a photograph of it finished before it is packed.
Folded with tissue and a care card, with export paperwork prepared for orders leaving Peru.
Alpaca fibre is smooth and carries no lanolin, so most people who react to sheep's wool wear it without trouble. For anything worn against the skin we use baby alpaca, which is the finest grade.
It is a grade, not an age. Baby alpaca refers to the finest fibre from the fleece, which is softer and lighter; standard alpaca is slightly thicker and better suited to ponchos, outerwear and throws.
Hand wash cool with a mild soap, never wring, press the water out in a towel and dry flat away from sun. Most of the time airing it is enough — alpaca does not hold odour the way other fibres do.
Yes. Send your chest, length and sleeve and we knit to them, or adjust a shawl length or throw size. Made-to-order pieces take longer than stock, and we tell you how long before you confirm.
Yes, we send orders internationally and prepare the export documents. Import duties and taxes depend on the destination country and are settled by the buyer.
We do repeat runs for retailers — the same stitch, shade and sizing across a batch. Say what quantity you need in the enquiry and we answer with what is realistic.
Ordered a charcoal ruana after a trip to Cusco. The shade matched the photograph they sent before packing, and the fringe is clearly hand-knotted.
I have long arms and sweaters never fit. They sent a measurement sheet, I filled it in, and the sleeves are finally right.
The throw is lighter than I expected and warmer than it looks. Answers to my questions about washing were plain and useful.
Bought hats and gloves for the whole family through the app. Natural shades, no dye, and no itching from the children.
A piece from the collection, a size that is not on the shelf, or a run for your shop — start here.
