Transparency at Every Step
At Silk & Snow, we firmly believe that customers deserve to be informed on where and how their products are made. That’s why we’ve outlined the entire manufacturing process of our premium alpaca wool throws, step by step.
1
Alpaca Wool
All of the alpaca fibre used in our throws are sourced from Peruvian Alpaca breeders partnered with The Sustainable Alpaca Network, an initiative that aims to improve the standard of living for alpaca breeders and their alpacas, across Peru.

Quality Assurance
The fibers are then rigorously inspected for softness and strength by Pacomarca in Arequipa, Peru, home of the historical Peruvian alpaca yarn industry. Pacomarca has been diligently inspecting and rating alpaca fibre for over sixty years.

Weaving
Lastly, the fibre is handwoven in Arequipa, Peru by a business run by Patthey and Corzo, where they have been weaving alpaca yarn for generations. The natural 22 shades of Alpaca are spun together to create a wide array of different colours.
