The Aymara people are indigenous Peruvian Indians who live by raising alpacas on some of the harshest land in the world. The "CHULLO" or Peruvian hat is a state of the art item made from Baby alpaca fiber. It is hand spun and knitted for many days. The stitch and designs are unique to this region of the world. The "Chullos" are a result of the ALPACA Project, a division of the Seattle based relief and Development agency, World Concern. Established in March 1996, the ALPACA Project recognizes that people - especially women - in rural Peruvian villages often need training in animal and land management skills, and in developing markets for their products. ALPACA Project steps in - by providing mobile training teams to assist in these crucial areas, with the goal of each community becoming more self-sufficient. One result has been these handmade high quality alpaca Chullos from the top of the world. Among the most important of the ALPACA Project’s main goals have been: To obtain better-quality healthier alpacas through selective breeding within foundation herds. To provide improved health care for the approximately 500 participating rural farmer families, and for their alpacas. To develop a marketing system that ensures fair prices are attained for high-quality livestock, these Chullos and other farm commodities. When all is said and done, approximately 900 families benefit from the ALPACA Project, either directly or indirectly, including some 1,800 adults and 3,300 children. A large portion of the sales of these "Chullos" goes directly to the Aymara communities of Peru. Read more in this Alpaca's Magazine article (size: 584K .pdf file).

Comments from Dee: A. Miranda’s ‘Bad Hair Day’ look is irresistible! She has such a fun, expressive face to portray. I chose to do her in pen and ink without watercolor as I felt that as a black huacaya, the watercolor would take away from some of the detail and texturing. B. This Brown Suri has such a sweet face I had to sketch him. I completed the picture in waterproof pen and ink with watercolor over the top. With the pen and ink I can get some good detail work in and the watercolor brings the picture to life. C. Shaggy is one of my favorite Suri portraits. His look is so comical and fun. He is done in waterproof pen and ink with watercolor wash to show his pretty brown coloring. D. Soft pen and ink drawing of a Momma alpaca and her baby. These items may also available as an 8x10 print. Please check the other artist items to see if the prints are still available. Select your gift card using the choice of either A, B, C, or D.

Come in the traditional Peruvian decorative style. The colors are mixed in these natural colored items. Size: 11" tall Very well made in Peru. http://purelyalpaca.com/product_info.php?products_id=413 This Western style alpaca felt hat is made by hand in the USA! Each western hat is handfelted using a wet felting technique. Heat, friction and soap turn the fiber into a strong material that cannot be pulled apart. The hats are attractive yet durable. Hats come in these colors, as shown in the one picture: Grey, Black, Brown, Fawn Sizes: Small: 20-21 ½ inches (head circumference) Medium: 22-23 ½ inches Large: 24-25 inches Custom sizing is also an option, generally at little or no extra cost. Head circumference can be measured by using a tape measurer and going around from the forehead to the largest part of the back of the head and back around to the forehead. If your headsize falls in between a hat size, always buy the next larger size. Select size and color from options below. Inside each hat, an elastic sweatband is handsewn in for comfort and fit. An outside black trim is sewn on that includes a permanently inserted wire that is used for custom shaping and styling. Some people like the hat brim to lay flat, while others like to bend it up. The bendable wire allows for custom shaping and styling according to individual preference. A basic matching hatband is included with each hat. Hatbands are black with an eyelet pattern. Hat Care: Hats can be easily cleaned using a soft hat brush or other soft brush. Though hats are not explicitly designed for rainy weather, alpaca is naturally water resistant. If the hat gets too wet simply lay it flat on it’s brim to dry. If the hat wire is bent to custom styling, just lay the hat on the brim the way it is bent and allow it to air dry naturally. These hats are naturally durable. Hats are shipped directly from the artisans in Wyoming. Please allow 2-3 weeks for your hat to arrive. Often hats are shipped much sooner, but please allow 2-3 weeks in case there is a backlog of orders on this popular item. As with all PurelyAlpaca products, these hats come with a 100% return guarantee. http://purelyalpaca.com/product_info.php?products_id=360 Beautiful hand-spun yarn by Vashon Island fiber artist Carolyn Smith of Viva Yarns.

This yarn has beautiful soft warm grey tones, due to the combined colors of Radiance, a white Huacaya alpaca and Gabriel, a dark brown Huacaya alpaca. Carolyn hand spun Radiance's raw fleece into yarn, then added Gabriel's roving with a touch of viscose/rayon for brightness and shine. The result is a lovely natural colored yarn. I also bred Radiance and Gabriel-the result? Aurora, whose colors of light fawn, beige and white reminded me of dawn, thus her name. " See all of Carolyn's work available on PurelyAlpaca here.

History of Natural Dyes in Peru Textiles have played a major role, both practical and ceremonial, in Andean culture for thousands of years. In the rugged, mountainous highland areas, native peoples domesticated wild versions of the alpaca and llama in order to use their soft and warm fleece. In other areas, both along the Pacific Coast and in the Amazon Basin, indigenous people made textiles with plant fibers. As their skill in textiles increased through the generations, Andean peoples developed methods of dyeing this fiber with materials procured from “Pachamama,” or Mother Nature. Before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors five centuries ago, natural dyeing had advanced to an amazing degree- able to produce hundreds of rich, long-lasting colors by using plants, insects and minerals. The advent of synthetic dyes in the 19th century was the beginning of a long decline for natural dyes. Synthetic dyes are less expensive and easier to produce than natural dyes. However, as with many synthetic imitations, these artificial dyes are not as rich and beautiful as the original, natural dyes. In addition, an entire body of knowledge necessary for the creation and use of natural dyes was discarded in the name of technological progress. Fortunately, some natural dyeing traditions survived in remote areas of the Andes. It is these unique, age-old traditions that PurelyAlpaca hopes to maintain by working with designers who collaborate with natural dye artisans in Peru to offer items like our gorgeous line of 100% Baby Alpaca Natural Dye Yarn The Artistry of Natural Dyes There is an artistry to creating and using natural dyes. It can be compared to the skill of a master chef, the mastery of an artist over his medium, or the subtlety of creating fine wine- endeavors requiring knowledge, experience and an eye for the nuances of working with organic materials. Most natural dyes rely on plants and their constituent parts- stems, leaves, bark, nuts, shells, fruits and roots- so the process is never exact. The potency of the dyestuffs may be influenced by numerous factors- season when harvested, climatic variation (less or more than average rain, temperature, etc), age of the plants at harvest, time since harvesting, source of water used for dyeing- the list goes on. The other main component in dyeing is the textile fibers which are to be dyed. Alpaca, wool, cotton, etc., are themselves organic substances with unique, variable properties which influence the outcome of the dye process. Just as with cooking, art, and fine wine, the difference between success and disaster, beautiful and ordinary, intentional and accidental can be very small. The master dyer applies his thorough knowledge of dyestuffs and fibers to the process of natural dyeing. The result is an artistic expression in the form of a beautifully dyed yarn or textile. When looking at naturally dyed yarn, there are visible features that anyone can appreciate. First is the richness of color. Richness does not imply intensity. Many synthetic fibers, like acrylic and polyester, show off bright, garish colors full of intensity, but lacking in richness. Specifically, rich colors have depth, luster and an overall pleasing appearance. In addition, natural dyes impart a slightly uneven coloration called “variegation.” Variegation results from an irregular absorption of the dye by the yarn fibers. It can also occur due to the intrinsic variability of organic materials as described above. This irregularity may be enhanced or diminished according to the whims or needs of the dyer. Variegation is a desirable feature of dyeing yarn by hand in small batches using organic dyes. Overall, organically dyed yarn has a complexity and uniqueness that is not possible with industrially dyed yarn. The attention and love that goes into to the natural dye process gives the fiber, yarn or textile character and makes it special. Natural Dyes of Peru Peru is located on the west coast of South America, just south of the equator. Its coastline is approximately 1400 miles long. There is a narrow coastal strip which is extremely dry- some areas almost never receive rainfall. Further inland from the coastal strip, the Andes Mountains rise precipitously- marked by rugged and deep canyons. Many of the surviving textile and dyeing traditions are found in these mountains. Although more rainfall occurs in the mountains, it is generally a dry climate. For this reason, many of the dyestuffs come from hardy, drought resistant plants like sage, eucalyptus, rabbit brush, and cactus (see cochineal). However, other dyes come from plants and trees growing near water sources or with agricultural uses like walnut, onion, arnica, blue corn, and indigo. Finally, the rocky terrain of the Andes is prime habitat for many species of lichens. Many of these lichens can be used as dyestuffs. Dyestuff gatherers take care NOT to remove these lichens by the roots, as they can take many years to grow back. One of the most important dyes in history comes not from a plant, but from an insect. The cochineal bug (Dactylopius Coccus) thrives on the prickly-pear cactus (Nopalea Coccinellifera). Cochineal, when processed for dyeing, produces a deep and true red color. This true red, difficult if not impossible to obtain from other natural dyes, was in high demand for centuries- not just in Central and South America- but all over the world. In addition, by using different dye methods and mordants (substances which “fix” the dye to the fiber), cochineal can produce an extraordinary range of colors- bright orange, pink, salmon, many shades of red, scarlet, and even purple. The dye is extracted by crushing the female insects and subjecting them to steam or heat. A large amount of insects is required to obtain a small amount of dye- an expensive process. The other major natural dye with historical importance still being used in Peru is indigo. Indigo is a rich and deep blue dye of exceptional permanence and comes from several leguminous plants of the genus Indigofera. Until the invention of synthetic indigo in the 19th century, natural indigo was an important global commodity used extensively by the textile and apparel industry (think “blue jeans”). Extracting the blue dye from the indigo plant is a multi-step process involving fermentation and oxidation. Because of this, using indigo successfully requires skill and experience. Many shades of blue may be obtained by varying the time and oxidation of the yarn in the dye bath.   Preserving Traditions The natural environment provides all of the materials (dyestuffs, natural textile fibers) necessary to produce a vast number of rich colors. The indigenous peoples of Peru have been living in this environment for thousands of years, so have had time to discover and incorporate the materials that Pachamama (Mother Nature) provides to them. This interaction between Andean peoples and the organic materials required for natural dyes is an excellent example of a sustainable use of natural resources. Encouraging the use of natural dyes also preserves a body of knowledge unique to pre-modern Andean culture. Nevertheless, continuing the use of natural dyes in the future is precarious. The arrival of European conquerors in the 16th century resulted in the destruction and loss of many aspects of Andean culture, including many textile traditions. The invention of synthetic dyes in the 19th century further eroded the use and knowledge of natural dyes. Finally, in our current age of homogenous globalization and economies-of-scale, the techniques and knowledge necessary to create and use natural dyes are in danger of becoming lost forever. By purchasing and appreciating naturally dyed yarn and textiles, we provide an economic benefit to Andean people who create these special items. Thus, we ensure that this special artistry does not perish.

Materials: 50% Superfine alpaca, 50% acrylic http://purelyalpaca.com/product_info.php?products_id=489 Made in the USA by Reinhard, an Austrian immigrant with 4-5 employees in a tiny factory on a dusty stretch of highway in the middle of the Texas plains, each rug is a work of art from this long time extraordinary rug weaver. The tiny factory sells its All American made goods to 300 outlets around the world. The factory ships these soft rugs to the finer shops of Europe. One of the rugs "will probably outlast you," says Reinhard. The natural fiber is spun around a jute core, which given the rug years of durability and also has the advantage of being reversible. Since the fiber has its natural color, it resists fading and wear and also provides a certain amount of sound proofing. ABOUT THE ALPACA RUG PROGRAM PurelyAlpaca is involved in the effort to support ongoing alpaca research and student veterinarians at the Washington State University (WSU) College of Veterinary Medicine in Pullman, WA (http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/depts-vth/camelids/). The Camelid Education and Research Fund had been created to assist the WSU program through awareness and fundraising. The WSU program has been a great benefit to Pacific Northwest alpaca farms and through its ongoing education and research helps alpaca owners everywhere. To help support the College of Veterinary Medicine at WSU, PurelyAlpaca is soliciting alpaca farms everywhere to contribute their "2nds and 3rds" to the production of these excellent quality floor rugs for the home. See more on about the Research Rug Project on our BLOG When an alpaca gets its annual shearing, the fiber is typically sorted into its Prime or Blanket (aka 1st) clip and its 2nds and 3rds clips, which may be put together or sorted. The Prime or Blanket clip, which comes from the main body of the alpaca is most commonly used for premium alpaca garments like sweaters. The "2nd" fiber from areas such as the neck or upper legs is typically used for hats or gloves. The "3rds", typically from the lower legs and belly and possibly chest are great for items like these rugs. The superior strength of alpaca fiber and its resitance to wear makes it an ideal rug material. A portion of your purchase of this rug will go toward further research and veterinarian training at the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine.

Found in South America, particulary in the Amazon, the omnivorous Peccary eats roots, prickly pear cactus, garden flowers and when around people, garbage. In spite of their bristly pelts and razor-sharp teeth, javelinas are quiet and family oriented animals and are very tolerant of their frisky piglings. (Credits: Javelinas by Lauray Yule) The local peoples of the Amazon have lived from the meat and leather of the Peccary since time immemorial. This balance remains in place to this day. The manufacturer of these gloves is an official representative to the native communities to acquire the Peccary leather. The process provides economic benefit to the local people while adhering to strictest international norms of conservation to protect this invaluable species. http://purelyalpaca.com/product_info.php?products_id=499 PurelyAlpaca is very excited to offer these amazing gloves, in limited numbers to our discerning customers.
