Why do you only sell sets?

In order to buy directly from the producers, we have to buy very large quantities. We can only do this if we also sell large quantities. The sets reduce the processing costs in our warehouse to one sixth. This means that the employee does not have to handle 6 balls of yarn individually, but only one set. As a rule, 300g or more is always needed and there is always a use for some leftover wool!

Wie kommen eure Alpaka-Preise zu Stande?

Zu Recht ist die Alpakawolle grundsätzlich in der Qualitätsstufe "Baby Alpaka" hochpreisig. Die Aufzucht auf den weitläufigen Ebenen der peruanischen Hochanden erfordert viel Zeit, Aufwand und Fürsorge. Das Ergebnis spiegelt sich in der Qualität unserer Wolle wieder.

Wie ist es möglich, dass die Preise trotzdem so fair sind?

Wir vertreiben überwiegend nur eine Qualitätsstufe und zwar eine der besten - Baby Alpaka. Durch die Konzentration auf diese eine Sorte nehmen wir eine sehr hohe Menge ab.  

Wir verzichten auf überflüssige Bürokratie und kaufen ohne weitere Händler direkt beim Erzeuger ein. Der Transport findet Containerweise statt und nicht per Luftfracht, das erspart erhebliche Kosten und verringert signifikant den Ausstoß an CO². Wir halten unsere Logistikkosten unter anderem durch geringe Lagerzeiten und größere Verkaufseinheiten niedrig. Dadurch, dass wir nicht jedes einzelne Knäuel logistisch abwickeln sondern Set-weise verkaufen, muss die Ware nicht so aufwendig kommissioniert werden. 

Die Summe all dieser Ersparnisse geben wir gern an unsere Kunden weiter. Denn unser Ziel war es von Anfang an, den Erzeuger fair zu bezahlen und dem Kunden einen fairen Verkaufspreis zu ermöglichen.

Why don’t you take part in wool festivals anymore?

In 2017, we were denied participation in a wool festival for the first time because some wholesalers put pressure on the organizer. Our low prices did not seem to have been well received.

At first we were shocked, then we saw an opportunity.

As wonderful as wool festivals are, they also involve effort and costs. Not participating in wool festivals prompted us to pass on the cost savings to our customers in the form of a discount campaign. This has taken place once a year since 2017 and has been met with enthusiastic customers and a great response.

Thank you for your support and active participation!

How do you determine your alpaca prices?

Alpaca wool is rightly expensive in the "baby alpaca" quality category. Raising the alpacas on the vast plains of the Peruvian high Andes requires a lot of time, effort and care. The result is reflected in the quality of our wool.

How is it possible that the prices are still so fair?

We mainly sell only one quality level and one of the best - baby alpaca. By concentrating on this one variety, we purchase a very large quantity.

We avoid unnecessary bureaucracy and buy directly from the producer without any additional dealers. Transport takes place in containers and not by air freight, which saves considerable costs and significantly reduces CO2 emissions. We keep our logistics costs low by, among other things, short storage times and larger sales units. Because we do not handle each individual ball of yarn logistically but sell it in sets, the goods do not have to be picked as laboriously.

We are happy to pass on all of these savings to our customers. Our goal from the beginning was to pay the producer fairly and to provide the customer with a fair sales price.
