Handspun Alpaca Yarn Sample

Experience the rich heritage and exquisite craftsmanship of Awamaki’s handspun alpaca yarn, made from 100% Peruvian alpaca fiber.  This limited special edition sample run features yarn carefully spun using the ancestral Andean technique with a traditional puska—a large spinning tool used since pre-Inca times.

Our artisan partners begin learning to spin as young as 6 years old, mastering this essential skill before moving on to weaving. Each skein carries the authentic handmade quality and unique character that only handspun yarn can offer.

The natural alpaca white fiber is ready to use as-is for a soft, elegant finish or can be dyed to your preferred color.
