A high end organic Tanguis Peruvian cotton that is blended with the finest silk. Winqu, which translates into "wave" in the indigenous Peruvian Mapuche dialect, is a two-ply yarn that is lightly spun giving it a bit of a thick-and-thin wavy feel creating visually stunning and interesting garments & accessories. Alqa means "mottled or printed" in the Mapuchan tongue - this mottled hand painted version of Winqu speaks to the artistry & craftsmanship of Peru.
