Ushya

The Quechuan word for “soft.” Ushya lives up to its name! This yarn is a very soft 98% Merino Wool, 2% Polyamide blend. This super bulky yarn has a chainette construction which makes it lofty without being heavy. Great for quick hats and accessories, but also wonderful for snuggly sweaters.

The Mirasol Project raises money through the sale of Mirasol yarns to fund a school in the remote area of Munani in the region of Puno to educate the children of the shepherds . These sumptuous yarns are a luxury that you can afford. Made from rich alpaca, wool, cotton and bamboo sourced from the Peruvian Andes, the plush fibers come in a range of stunningly vibrant colors that are a delight to knit with. The irresistible softness will provide garments with a unique touch that assures the best quality so you will never want to wear anything else. And it's so lasting, you'll never have to! And all this luxury comes with the extra benefit of knowing that you are contributing to supporting the children of Peruvian alpaca shepherds.
