 Chaski by Amano transports us to a spring day in the Andes. This exceptionally beautiful blend of the finest Pima cotton, super-soft merino wool (21.5 microns), and stabilizing linen combines the best of all worlds. "Chaski" was an important messenger in Inca society. These messengers often traveled hundreds of kilometers across the vast Inca Empire. The yarn is incredibly easy to care for and durable, and can be machine-washed again and again without losing its softness. Socks made from Chaski are wonderfully soft but may be slightly less resilient than conventional socks. Perhaps not recommended for extended hikes ;-)

The yarn is sourced, spun and dyed in Peru.
