Andes by Amano is a new way of thinking about Merino/Alpaca blends! Unlike traditional yarns, Andes is spun as a carded yarn, which makes it incredibly light, airy, and economical.

Garments knitted with carded yarn are highly durable and don’t stretch out as quickly because the yarn contains more air, allowing the stitches to better bind together with every wear.

It’s wonderfully soft, has a beautiful tweed look, and is an all-around fantastic yarn! It’s perfect for shawls, sweaters, and hats. The stunning colour selection makes this extraordinary yarn a true masterpiece!

For thousands of years, the people of the Andes have made offerings to the Inca gods. The richness of this mystic land and its bounty holds true wealth, ancient wisdom, and luxurious fibres. At Amano, they build on these past treasures with their collection of contemporary and luxurious yarns, rooted in the rich depths of Andean tradition. Amano® is luxury in its purest expression.
