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. To ensure the structural stability and durability of the yarn, a polyamide fibre is used. We aim to avoid synthetic fibres in our collections, but include it on this occasion to make sure our garments last without compromising the unique boucle texture.
Fabric
Our alpaca bouclé yarn creates warm and playful knitted garments. Bouclé means that the yarn is made from looped fibre along the thread and when knitted it creates lovely curly texture. It not only looks great, but also makes additional air pockets for extra warmth. The yarn can be dyed at different stages of production, either dyeing the fibre before spinning (top-dyed) or dyeing the yarn after it has been spun. We prefer to use top-dyed as this results in melange colours and a better hand-feel. 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.
