100% llama wool / 100% cotton – Bolivia

Llama wool is our signature material and holds a very special place in our hearts. The wool has exceptional properties – it is both soft, durable, and has a natural resistance to pilling. Handknitted in 100% llama wool with a durable inner cotton lining. The wool is sourced and refined locally at a factory in Bolivia, with which we have worked closely since aiayu’s beginnings over 20 years ago. The factory manages all stages of production – from fibre sorting, cleaning, carding, and spinning to the finished, knitted product. The llamas roam and graze freely in large herds in the Bolivian highlands. Our aim is to preserve and support the traditional craftsmanship in Bolivia's handknitting communities. We knit everything traditionally and finish every product by hand to minimize waste. Our handknitted items are individual works of art ‘signed’ with initials from the Bolivian woman who knitted them. The factory in Bolivia handles all production processes from fiber sorting, washing, carding, spinning and handknitting of the final garment. The factory cleans and reuses its wastewater and runs solely on renewable energy.
