Our story and values

Threads for Dreams – started in 2017
with the community of Tolconi, Arequipa in Peru, with the aim of contributing to the wellbeing of the alpaqueras families.

Threads for Dreams
Threads for Dreams – commits to the phenomenal range of natural colors of alpaca by working only with undyed natural fibre. We promote a transparent short value chain where from raising the alpaca, to shearing, classifying and spinning every step is completed by the same woman, thus every thread is unique, telling a women’s story.
Threads for Dreams believes in giving opportunities to highly-skilled women artisans from isolated Andean communities, who knit with one of the most ancient and most appreciated soft fiber, linking them to specific markets. Based on ancestral knowledge and the revolutionary act of not adding anything to the fibre, an innovative approach of products "with history" has being developed.
