I imported alpaca yarns from Peru. I still love\u00a0textiles made from natural fibres and I think it&#8217;s important for consumers to understand its true beauty. Line Knitwear and Holt Renfrew in Toronto teamed up to spread the awareness with its #CampaignForWool event where models demonstrated the fibre\u00a0arts. A model was spinning magenta pink\u00a0roving into yarn, while another was knitting while lounging on a giant knit chair. Wool fibres are warner than synthetics because they insulate heat while, as well as being breathable. They wash well and last a long time, making it worthwhile investment pieces.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, I still sell my collection of luxury knitting yarns, Fable Handknit.
