About the Mirasol Collection
The Mirasol Collection of yarn is available in Western Kansas exclusively at
Quilt Cottage Co. Peru's heritage and culture of textile artistry is rich
and ancient. The Mirasol Project supports local communities in Peru through
the sale of the Mirasol Yarn Collection, which includes yarn made from the
animals tended by these communities for generations in the Peruvian
Highlands. Cotton yarns are made from cotton grown in the costal regions of
Peru and spun in the foothills of the Andes.
By purchasing these yarns you
are supporting the shepherds and farmers and their families, ensuring the
continuation of this tradition. A portion of every purchase goes directly
to the funding of a school in the remote area of Munani in the region of
Puno.
