Kani Collection

The Kani Collection throws are woven in the hills outside of Otavalo, Ecuador by a brother, sister, and their spouses.  They begin with wrapping yarn around a spinning wooden frame to map out the design.  Then the men weavers use their weight and strength to pull back on the alpaca yarns during the weaving process, ensuring a tight weave for our specifically designed cozy throws.  After the throw is woven, the women artisans use a native plant, called a Teasal, to hand brush the fibers of the throw over and over so that the finished textile is extremely soft to the touch. Then the throw is beautifully finished by our artisans who hand-sew all around the edges. 

All of the Kani Collection is woven such that the color is on one side and shows as a lighter version on the off-white side. It is reversible.
