The fiber that arrives at an Andean loom has already traveled a long way — from animal to shearing, from shearing to hand-spinning, from spinning to the hands of a weaver in a remote highland community where the craft has been practiced without interruption for generations. Each step is done by the same families, in the same places, with the same patient attention. The result is a throw that carries all of that in its weight and its texture.
Llama fiber’s natural properties are not enhanced or altered in any way in ANDINA throws. No dye, no softening agent, no chemical treatment of any kind. The softness is inherent. So is the lightness, the warmth, the natural resistance to moisture and staining. These are characteristics of the raw fiber — which is why they survive washing and use in a way that treated fibers often do not.
Shadow is the deeper gray in the ANDINA range — darker than Ash, with more presence and weight in a room, though still well short of black. It is the color of certain gray llamas whose coat reads as a true mid-dark neutral: cool, considered, and quietly striking. Shadow works in rooms that need a gray with substance — not the pale, diffuse gray of walls or upholstery, but a gray that holds its ground as a textile.
