With the Oda Sweater we will finish our trilogy of alpaca love with a little bit of heritage know how. The animal is a precious camelid, and believed to have been cross-bred between lamas and vicuñas about 6000 years ago. Its beautiful fibers were treasured by the ancient Andean civilisation, who reserved alpaca for Incan royalty. For the Inca civilization, alpaca had a higher value than both silver and gold. They are native to the Andes mountains of Peru, where they are still a main source of income.

Unlike Angora goats and sheep, alpacas are farmed in little flocks by families where they are treasured and nourished with love and respect – much like family members.
Our Italian yarn mill is part of the International Alpaca Association (AIA) in Peru, a non-profit organization that surveys ethical and responsible practices on the part of the farmers, industrial processors, garment makers, traders and craftspeople to promote environmental awareness and respect for the Andean ecosystem and the Earth.

In a world inundated with fast fashion, there is more than a need for heritage. Wool with a story … will never go out of style. Just like this Oda Tricolor Sweater, an Oda Cardigan or a Ricarda Sweater …
