Click here to read about where and how this amazing yarn was created!

 

We have hooked up with a Peruvian company that has been creating this yarn for many decades.  This yarn has been available in the U.S. and we have now become their exclusive distributor.  The cotton is soft, flexible and easy to wear.  This yarn is the perfect transition yarn from Spring/Summer to Fall Winter.

The earliest records of spinning date back nearly eight millennia, to Peru where Pakucho meant 'brown cotton' in ancient Inca.  Today, native-spun Pakucho cotton is grown in natural colors.  No pesticides, herbicides, or other agri-chemicals are used to grow or color these yarns.  All harvesting and color sorting is done by hand, just as it has been since the domestication of cotton in Peru over 4,500 years ago.
