Peru’s heritage and culture of textile artistry is rich and ancient. The Mirasol Project supports local communities in Peru through the sales of the Mirasol Yarn Collection, which includes yarn made from the animals tended by these communities for generations in the Peruvian highlands. Without them we would not have this beautiful yarn.

By purchasing it you are supporting the shepherds and their families ensuring the continuation of this tradition. A portion of every purchase goes directly to the funding of a centre in the remote area of Munani in the region of Puno.

Jane Ellison says ‘For me I feel it is good to know that I, like many consumers, can make a difference, by choosing what I buy.’
