Respect for animals and the environment.
Llama wool is a natural and wild fiber that is part of the camelid family, native to La Puna, Jujuy, Argentina. They grow freely in Argentina. These animals are used to living in high, cold and dry areas. The Argentine llama is of excellent quality, which is evident in its shine, silkiness and delicacy.
Their wool is obtained through a shearing process that fully respects the animal and does not harm it. The llamas are only sheared by specialists on site (the llamas remain in their environment) with special scissors. Trimming usually takes about 20 minutes per animal. Unlike mechanical shearing, the animal is sheared gently, also because the hair is not too short and otherwise does not provide sufficient protection for the animal against temperature fluctuations, precipitation, etc. at this altitude in the Andes.
The entire process is extremely difficult and takes a few months, including shearing, careful selection for color and quality, washing and drying. After that, the spinning machine is used.
