Andes Quni Black Snow Llama Alpaca Merino Handwoven Rug

Description: Our Andes Rug Collection is a testament to exquisite craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Handwoven in the heart of Peru, these rugs are crafted using the finest fleece from alpacas, sheep, and llamas that graze in the highland mountains of the Andes. Each piece in this collection embodies the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of the region.

Materials and Craftsmanship: The Andes rugs are made from a selection of the highest quality fibers:

• Alpaca Fiber: Renowned for its incredible softness, alpaca fiber is often compared to cashmere and silk. It provides exceptional warmth due to its hollow core structure, making it even warmer than sheep’s wool. Alpaca fibers are naturally hypoallergenic, lightweight, moisture wicking, and highly durable.
• Sheep Wool: Grazing at elevations of at least 4000 meters in the highland mountains, these sheep produce wool rich in lanolin, which results in a softer, more luxurious texture.
• Llama Fiber: The llamas grazing at such high altitudes produce a finer fleece that is exceptionally soft and strong.

Our Andes rugs are meticulously woven under one roof, ensuring the highest quality control standards. This guarantees that every rug meets the superior quality our discerning customers expect.

Customization: Exclusively available for custom order, the Andes rugs offer unparalleled flexibility. Designers can specify custom colors and textures to create a bespoke piece that perfectly complements their vision. With fast lead times, you can experience luxury without the wait.

Sustainability and Eco-Friendliness: Alpaca fibers are not only luxurious but also eco-friendly. Alpacas have a low environmental impact, with padded feet that are gentle on the soil, and minimal water requirements. The natural colors of the fleece reduce the need for harsh dyes, making the production process more sustainable.
