WARMI (Women in Quechua) is a workshop ment to experiment and preserve the Peruvian traditional dyeing techniques. It is self-managed, and composed by a group of twenty women from the Community of Kacllaraccay, Cusco, Peru. It is inspired by the colors of the local mountain, Apu Wañinmarcca, and the
changes of tonalities it goes through, during the Andean seasons, dry and humid.
WARMI is a collaborative project between designer Giulia Pompilj, the Kacllaraccay Community and Mater Initiative, which arises from a research regarding the Peruvian plant ecosystem.
YARNS
The wool is composed of 100% alpaca fibre. They are hand-dyed, using only wild botanics, collected from the area and local, eco-sustainable mordants. The WARMI color palette is based on a seasonal calendar, and represent the botanics found on a specific time of the year.
SUSTAINABILITY
With each yarn that is sold, MATER SOSTIENE promotes the continuity of the research project and sustainability of the workshop.
