BULKY – SELECT COLOR DK – SELECT COLOR

Light can be this versatile.

Mrs. Yoni from Arequipa has been knitting with alpaca for many decades. When we create a new yarn or a new color, we put it into the hands of her and her small group of hand knitters. Without any instructions or patterns, they let themselves be inspired by the yarn and create their own unique pieces.

Here we show you some of their ideas, let yourself be inspired and make something completely your own out of it.
