Step into the spring Andes with Chaski, a beautiful blend of Pima Cotton, superwash Merino wool (21,5 micron) and stabilising linen.

"Chaski" was a very important messenger in Inca society. They would often run hundreds of miles in the vast Incan empire. Amano honours their legacy with this sock-weight yarn.

Easy knit and easy care, this yarn can be washed in the machine over and over again without losing its softness.

The fibre is sourced, spun and dyed in Peru.

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 fibers. At Amano, we build on these past treasures with our collection of contemporary and luxurious yarns, rooted in the rich depths of Andean tradition. Amano® is luxury in its purest expression. Find an Andean tale in each strand, each fiber gift from the Inca gods. Taste the Andes with Amano.
