Pascuali Sayama | Merino & Llama Wool

Sayama – A Yarn That Combines Tradition, Softness, and Strength

Sayama is one of my absolute favorite yarns, and for many good reasons. It is inspired by the majestic landscape surrounding Mount Sajama in Bolivia, one of the highest peaks in the Andes. The natural beauty of this region, along with the free-roaming llamas, is perfectly reflected in the quality of this yarn. Sayama captures the essence of the rugged Andean landscape and its animal inhabitants—a yarn that blends the warmth and strength of llama wool with the softness and finesse of fine sheep wool.

The composition of Bolivian highland wool and soft llama hair makes Sayama not only luxurious but also incredibly durable. This unique blend provides both stability and lightness to the fibers, making the yarn ideal for projects that require both comfort and longevity. It’s particularly perfect for Scandinavian knitting patterns and multi-colored designs.

What I love most about Sayama is its beautiful color palette. It reflects the natural tones of the Andes, from earthy browns and warm grays to bold, vibrant colors inspired by the diverse landscapes around Mount Sajama. This range of shades invites you to play with textures and patterns, allowing for creative and expressive knitwear.

Sayama is not just a high-quality yarn; it’s also produced in line with the ethical standards that are important to me. It’s made in Bolivia under sustainable conditions, with respect for nature and the animals that provide the wool. While llama wool may not yet have comprehensive ecological certifications, we prioritize the well-being of the animals and support the local communities.

For me, Sayama is more than just a material—it’s a piece of culture and nature that you can feel in every knitting project. It’s durable, soft, and yet strong, making it ideal for projects that require both warmth and elegance. It’s a yarn I highly recommend to anyone who appreciates high-quality, ethically responsible fibers.

**Important Notes:** Be sure to order enough yarn for your desired project to ensure all your yarn comes from the same dye lot. If in doubt, make a swatch as soon as you receive the yarn to estimate if you need to order more. This way, you can avoid running out of yarn during your project
