approx placement of llama-designs shown below
(some have llamas, and some don't, as noted in the drop-down list above)
The animals that the organic wool comes from are free range alpacas
and llamas that graze on the tough organic grasses of the vast Andes Mountains...just
as they have been doing for 5,000 years. Bolivian alpacas and llamas
are
cared for humanely and deeply honored in the Andean culture and traditions.
The llamas and alpacas are of original pre-Inca stock and have not been
genetically modified in any way. If an animal gets hurt it is treated with
naturopathic cures: herbs and balms. There are no antibiotics, hormones
or other drugs administered to the animals. The fleece is hand shorn
using scissors. The animal is not harmed in this process. The fleece is
then hand washed with a mild, biodegradable, detergent specially designed
for the Bolivian altiplano environment. Finally the fleece is carded and
spun, often by hand using a drop spindle. |
