Puno Winikunka is a wonderfully soft blend of cotton and alpaca wool. The 70 percent GOTS-certified cotton as well as the 30 percent alpaca wool come from Peru, where the yarn is also spun for Pascuali. The mystical mountain Winikunka, also known as “Rainbow Mountain” or “Seven Colour Mountain” served as the inspiration for this yarn. Intense green, purple, yellow, red, and blue make the amazing range of colours which are the result of sedimentary rocks eroding for millions of years. The blend of smooth cotton with fluffy alpaca wool makes Puno a great year-round yarn that can be knitted as well as crocheted using a number of different stitches and patterns. Puno is suitable for light tops as well as accessories such as scarves or shawls. It is pleasantly soft and can also be worn directly on the skin.
