These sweaters are made from start to finish by Emilia, Yanina, and Andrea in rural Jujuy, Argentina. Many communities in Northwestern Argentina live off of their artisan craft, and the families in Barrancas are no exception.
They invited us to their town in the middle of the desert to show us how they make knitwear from scratch, shearing the llama, washing the wool, spinning it into yarn, dying the yarn with natural pigments, and finally knitting them by hand. This particular sweater's features:
- 100% natural, undyed llama wool body with naturally dyed green collar and cuff.
- Hand-embroidered wool skier.
- Knit 100% by hand.
- Soft and breathable and great for mild winters or layering.
