Handwaerk means craftmanship or handcraft in Danish. Handwaerk Alpaca is handspun by local artisans coming from 3 communities from the highlands of Puno, Peru: Antauta, Ajoyani, and Queracucho.

Many of the artisans have learned the traditional art of hand spinning alpaca fiber from their families, a skill that is often passed down generation to generation. A group of over 70 women formed FIBRA EMPRENDEDORA, an association of hand spinners and knitters. This group of passionate artisans work with pride, promoting the legacy of their ancestors by celebrating their traditions and honoring their origins. We are honored to bring their singular, exquisite handspun alpaca to our knitting community.
