At first sight, I did not notice the text that was on the extra labels of this very fine wool skeins.
Buying this wool makes you supporting local communities in Peru : a very fine thought.
The philosophy behind the Mirasol Project is very simple, the Mirasol
Project supports local communities in Peru through the sales of the
Mirasol Yarn Collection.
Peru’s heritage and culture of textile artistry is rich and
ancient. The Mirasol Yarn Collection includes yarn made from the
animals tended by these communities for generations in the Peruvian
highlands. Without them we would not have this beautiful yarn.
By purchasing the Mirasol Yarn Collection you are
supporting the shepherds and their families ensuring the continuation
of this tradition.
A portion of every purchase goes directly to the funding of a centre in the remote area of Munani in the region of Puno.
If many more of these projects would exist, the world would definetly become a better place to live for each and everyone.
