In the heart of the Peruvian mountains

Our farms

The Peruvian Sierra

In the Peruvian mountain range, at over 4,000 meters above sea level, lie the impressive landscapes that serve as the backdrop for our alpaca farms. Here, thousands of rural families have raised alpaca herds for generations over several thousand years.

By buying our yarn, you help support programs that improve animal genetics so they can produce finer fibers, thereby increasing the income of alpaca farmers and their families. You also support the technical training of herders and humanitarian assistance in areas such as housing, education, and clothing.

On behalf of the Peruvian alpaca farmers, we thank you in advance for helping us preserve this wonderful animal, contributing to better breeding, improving incomes for thousands of families, and helping them raise their standard of living.

Local production protects local herders

Alpaca fibres have always been part of a long and unfair value chain. Underprivileged small-scale farmers in the Andes, some in extremely remote areas, sell their alpaca fibres in informal markets in smaller, local towns to local middlemen. These traders resell the fibres to larger distributors, who later sell them on to larger textile factories. This unfair value chain drains local farmers of their income potential and limits how much they can benefit from an imperfect system.

MosterMoster had a burning desire to supply high-quality yarn without contributing to this unfair treatment.

MosterMoster's yarn is therefore the result of intensive work and networking, keeping as much of the production with local herders as possible. Breeding, shearing, and more take place directly with the herder to ensure fair and safe treatment of both alpacas and herding communities.
