Pascuali Puno Winikunka | Organic Cotton & Alpaca

Puno Winikunka is a wonderfully soft blend of 70% GOTS-certified cotton and 30% fine alpaca wool. Both fibers come from Peru, where this special yarn is spun for me with great care.

Puno Winikunka was inspired by the mystical Winikunka Mountain, better known as Rainbow Mountain or the Mountain of Seven Colors. Its vibrant colors are created by different minerals and sediments that have accumulated over millions of years. This breathtaking play of colors from Peru is reflected in the beautiful and diverse color palette of this yarn.

The combination of smooth cotton and cozy alpaca fiber makes Puno Winikunka a wonderful all-season yarn. It feels pleasantly soft against the skin, has a beautiful drape, and is perfect for both knitting and crochet.

Thanks to its special structure, patterns and textures truly shine. Whether you are creating airy tops, lightweight sweaters, scarves, or shawls: Puno Winikunka is a versatile yarn for projects that can accompany you throughout the year.

Please note: I recommend always ordering enough yarn for your chosen project so that your knitted piece can be made from the same dye lot whenever possible. If you are unsure, it is best to make a gauge swatch as soon as you receive your yarn. This way, you can check whether you have enough yarn and reorder in time if needed.

Why do you only offer a small selection of yarns?
I carefully select every yarn so that it truly fits my designs and feels wonderful to knit with. Quality always comes before quantity, so you can be sure that every fiber has been chosen with care.

Are the yarns sustainable?
Yes! Sustainability is very important to me. I only work with manufacturers who value fair production conditions and use thoughtful, environmentally conscious materials. This way, you can knit with a good feeling.

How do I find the right yarn for my project?
My patterns and kits always include the yarn recommendation that works best for each design. And of course, I am happy to help you choose. I want you to enjoy your knitting project from the very first stitch to the finished piece.

Can I also buy the yarns separately?
Of course! Some yarns are available individually in my shop, so you can create your project exactly the way you envision it.
