Guanaco by Tex Andes for Biscotte Yarns

Discover the Guanaco, a majestic creature native to Argentina!

Guanaco fiber is a precious and exclusive material that has been treasured by gauchos for centuries in Patagonia. Sourced from the wild and sheared according to strict animal welfare guidelines, it is a true natural treasure.

Due to its rarity, Guanaco can only be shorn once every two years, making each meter of yarn even more valuable. This exceptional fiber is only found in select regions of Patagonia, and it is highly coveted by knitwear connoisseurs around the world for its luxurious and unique qualities.

Not only is it incredibly soft and lightweight, but it also has incredible temperature regulating abilities and is hypoallergenic.

Thanks to our partnership with Tex Andes, we are thrilled to offer this rare and exquisite Guanaco yarn to our customers.
