Duna combines the natural color from organic cotton with subtle hues of naturally colored alpaca.

In our dyed version, the subtly tinted organic cotton and alpaca base enhances its appeal while preserving the yarn's eco-friendly properties. Perfect for eco-conscious projects, DUNA inspires garments and accessories that embody the organic essence of Peru's coastal dunes, adding natural beauty to every creation.

indulgent fibres with excellent manners

Duna is a yarn that we would categorize as a polite hedonist. A polite hedonist loves luxury but keeps its manners. These yarns are made from indulgent fibres that feel wonderful to work with and create soft, wearable fabrics: luxury that behaves itself beautifully.

Still worth a proper introduction: swatch before committing, especially when substituting. And when it comes time to wash, treat finished pieces gently so the fibres can stay at their best.
