The Chunky

Kinua’s journey begins with Peruvian Merino Wool, renowned for its exceptional softness and suitability for delicate garments and babywear. Sourcing directly from local farmers nestled in the Andes Mountains, nearly 4000 meters above sea level, they hand-select small batches of the finest Peruvian merino wool. From scouring to spinning, each step of the process is meticulously overseen by their team to ensure quality and sustainability. Their commitment to an earth-conscious approach extends to our dyeing process, where color serves as our primary muse. Season after season, the textile studio in Lima crafts new colorways, drawing inspiration from nature's vibrant palette. Utilizing natural dyeing techniques, they’ve curated an exquisite spectrum of over 100 colors, free from heavy metals and synthetic products. With a perfect affinity for wool, alpaca, and cotton fibers, natural dyes yield harmonious, vivid hues, celebrating the beauty of nature's bounty. Leaves, Andean flowers, roots, and vegetable waste serve as our renewable and biodegradable sources, embodying their dedication to sustainable practices and reverence for the environment.

Disclaimer: We make a great effort to make the images reflect the colors. All photographs are high resolution. However, consider that the reflection of light can affect the photograph and may be lighter or darker in reality. Likewise, we suggest to buy all the necessary skeins so that they are from the same batch, since the nature of natural dyeing generates variations in tones, the same color can be lighter or darker in the following batches.
