Cross & Woods are delighted to be the Flagship Store for the amazing collection of yarns created by Amano in Peru. Not only is there the incredibly soft APU alpaca, super soft Pima cotton yarns, fine laceweight yarns and super bulky made with Alpaca wool. The yarns are sustainably sourced and the company works very closely with the communities that look after the Alpaca and grow the cotton, working with love and respect for the nature around them

For thousands of years, the people of the Andes have made offerings to the gods they believe reside in the mountains, the earth, the rivers and the sky. With AMANO, we honor these ancient traditions in our modern era. Through our hands and creativity, we embrace the natural resources of the Andes, experiencing their enduring magic." Amano
