Think of the rarest mammal whose coat is combed for precious fiber & yarn, and we doubt that very many will think of the guanaco! Then think of ultra-soft, precious yarn made from this animal's undercoat, and you'll come close to imagining the wonderful "Guanaco" yarn from Windy Valley Muskox. The prehistoric ancestor of the domestic llama & alpaca and also related to the camel & the vicuna, the guanaco is classified as an endangered species by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). Special certification & licensure is required of guanaco breeders located primarily in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile & Peru.
The fiber is so rare & exotic that it's available in only its natural color & only in a blended yarn. No wonder the company calls it "the soft secret of Patagonia" on its label! Lusciously crafted of 40% guanaco, 40% merino wool & 20% silk.
Please Note: "Guanaco" can be used in all patterns currently available from Windy Valley Muskox.
