Amano Mayu
Amano Yarns finds their inspiration in the natural gifts that the Peruvian Andes bring. The Andes are famous for alpacas, and that is where they create, develop and produce their yarns with decades of experience and great pride. The Andes is also the homeland of an ancient textile culture with colorful patterns and countless tales woven into each thread. They call it a gift from the Inca Gods.
