Our Suppliers: Alpaca Yarn

Michell

is our alpaca wool yarn supplier for our warmest 3D knitted garments.

We meet our supplier in Italy at one of the biggest yarn trade shows in the beautiful city of Florence. In this show there were many yarn companies exhibiting but my choice was easy because I was only interested in sustainable yarns. Still there were a few suppliers but Michelle was the most committed to sustainability. Since then we are working together. 

Michell commitment to sustainability also includes their Mirasol Project to support the children of communities in Mallkini, Munani and Neque Neque in Puno with their education through the Mirasol School, and their Michell Art Contest with the purpose to support and motivate the development of talented Peruvian artists with limited economic resources.

If you still want to learn more about our alpaca wool supplier you can find more information on their website.
