Blue Sky
Alpacas Hand
Spun Organic
Cotton, the
perfect addition
to their
expanding line
of feel good
yarn. Grown from
100% organic
cotton, there
are no
pesticides,
herbicides,
agro-chemicals
or dyes used in
the growing,
harvesting or
production of
the fiber. The
yarn is hand
spun on drop
spindles by a
women’s
cooperative in
Arequipa, Peru.
Knitters will
love the rich
feel of the
yarn. They’ll
also feel good,
knowing that the
yarn production
is helping
preserve a
centuries-old
tradition of
eco-friendly
cotton
cultivation in
Peru and improve
the lives of the
poverty-stricken
women who live
there. Working
with a local
charity, Blue
Sky Alpacas
employs women to
spin Hand Spun
Organic Cotton,
providing them
with a living
wage that helps
them care for
their families
and send their
children to
school. |
