“Mayu” means river in Quechua, the language of the Incas—because apparently “cloud spun by angels and dipped in unicorn tears” was already taken.
This dreamy blend of Royal alpaca, Cashmere, and Mulberry silk doesn’t just feel soft—it’s emotionally soft. Like, “cries at commercials and forgives everyone” soft. Each skein is hand-dyed using ancient Incan techniques, which basically means someone lovingly hovered over it for hours instead of letting a robot do it.
The result? A yarn so smooth and luminous it could charm a llama off a mountaintop. The colors shimmer like the Peruvian highlands at golden hour, and if you don’t pet it at least twice before knitting, you’re doing it wrong.
