Quest for Fiber in Peru |

Description: My original reason for travelling to Peru and living there for a season was to explore the area where most of our alpaca fiber comes from, and to engage with the women there who knit and spin. Once there, I learned that it was not always easy to find pure alpaca fiber—it is common to include acrylic in products—especially in tourist regions. Asking a lot of questions helped in my quest, but learning to accept certain realities while travelling was also valuable and enlightening.
Suggested Audience: Anyone interested in Peruvian fiber arts, or learning about dealing with travel expectations verses reality.
