100% Highland wool – Bolivia

Sourced from highland sheep that graze alongside llamas in the Bolivian highlands. This wool is a unique fibre with a naturally crimped texture and exceptional elasticity, making the material durable and helping it maintain its shape over time. Its gentle, neutral off-white hue, a result of the sheep’s natural colouring, adds a distinct sense of lightness and purity to the material.Colours starting with 'pure' are undyed and unbleached, allowing the natural colour of the fibre to remain unchanged – offered entirely as found in nature, with every variation in tone and perfect imperfection this entails. 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.
