OUR FIBERS

 

Alpacas & Blends


Aplaca is truly a unique and sustainable fiber. The animal is one of the most gentle animals with the land allowing the vegetation to grow back. Each animal is sheared by hand and with care.

Their wool is soft, warm and water repellent, creating long lasting garments.

 

Pima Cotton


Pima cotton is a long staple yarn originated in Peru. This makes a softer hand feel and more durable knit.

Cotton Crops are one of the most polluting crops in the world. We encourage our clients to work with Organic Cotton that comes with GOTS certification and USDA organic and Fair Trade.

 

Merino Wool


Merino Wool is a natural fiber grown by merino sheep. Its thinner and softer than regular wool. It’s a natural fiber that helps regulate body temperature while easy to wear next to skin.

Our suppliers complies with the best practices promoted by the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) and Fair Trade principles.
