WG7384 VICUNA MIX SUAVIS CARIAGGI 99.99€/100g

 VICUNA - called since ancient times "Princess of the Andes" because of its elegance and nobility - has its   natural habitat in the Upper Andes  between 3500 and 5000m above sea level, on the  plateau between Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina.

The VICUNA lives exclusively in the wild and an adult  produces no more than 250g of wool in a year,  whis explains the extreme value of this fibre. The  VICUNA yarn, which reaches 12 microns, is one of the world's  thinnest animal fibres;  in order to respect the natural beauty and exclusivity of the fibre, it is used mainly  in its original   shades which range from a golden beige to an  intense fawn. VICUNA is included in the species protected by  CITES (Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species).

Thorough a deepened study of the VICUNA, Cariaggi  has created, alone or in combination with the best cashmere and silk fibre, precious carded and worsted yarns  with a  voluminous ,  light and  extremely elegant appearance.
