Chaski | Love in a Mist 1704
Amano | De Verano
In Incan society ‘Chaski’ was a very important messenger, often running hundreds of miles on the vast Incan empire. Amano honours this legacy with its very first fingering weight yarn, Chaski.
In a blend that has been specifically developed for socks, it uses the softest pima cotton for spring and structure, superwash merino wool for warmth and comfort, and a touch of linen for strength and durability.
Chaski can be machine washed making it perfect for everyday socks and easy-care hand knit and crochet pieces.
