I’m always searching for new products to bring to your attention and this is a yarn line that I’m proud to carry. Mirasol Yarns come from the oxygen-starved sierra of the Andes Mountains of Peru, where the Mallkini Ranch was established to breed alpaca herds. The owners have begun to support the local communities through sales of the fantastic Mirasol Yarn Collection, which includes yarn made from the animals tended by these communities for generations. By purchasing Mirasol Yarn, you are supporting the shepherds and their families, as well as the education of local Peruvian children, through the Mirasol Project, which is working to redress the balance between rich and poor nations. Plus, the yarns are exquisite. To learn more, visit www.mirasolperu.com.
