Qori
Some yarns are just yarn. Qori is a little more than that.
"Qori" means treasure in Quechua, the language of the Andean communities where Mirasol yarns are made — and the name earns its meaning. This fine weight blend combines GOTS-certified organic cotton with South American Merino and a touch of virgin cashmere into something that's genuinely hard to put down once you're knitting with it. The cotton keeps it breathable and cool-wearing; the Merino adds gentle elasticity; the cashmere is there just enough to make the whole thing feel quietly elevated without announcing itself.
The stitch definition is clean and crisp, which makes it especially happy in textured stitch patterns, lace, and anything you want to look polished rather than fuzzy. Think lightweight sweaters, wraps, layering pieces — the garments you reach for between seasons because they work in almost any weather.
Seven sophisticated colorways, all named for Andean landscapes and plants.
Mirasol Yarns was created to help support the Mirasol School in the Peruvian Andes, where children from alpaca-herding families receive education, meals, and a safe place to stay during the school week. A portion of every Mirasol yarn sale helps fund this work. Learn more about the Mirasol Project.
