The philosophy behind the Mirasol Project is to support local communities in Peru through the sales of their lovely yarns. Specifically a percentage of the yarn profits are invested in establishing & running a boarding-house for local children. The project focuses on an infant & child-care program with after-school support for older children so that the alpaca shepherds' families in the region have a secure place where the children can develop their potential. Yarnmarket is excited to support this initiative through this beautiful yarn collection.
