    From the label:
    Araucanía Yarns is inspired by ancient Chilean crafts made from hand painted natural yarns.
    The company was born when Nora Bierschwale, textile designer and her daughter Michelle Boisier, architect, decided to combine their talents and experience with the mission to create and produce beautiful and one-off yams for the global market, employing ancient and traditional techniques which reflect Chile's ethnic origins.  Each hank is different; its individual beauty emerges as the artisans blend colours to create several unique, interwoven shades.  Araucanía Yarns is very proud to support local, sustainable job development, creating a new generation of skilled artisans in Chile.  Each hauls sold means more opportunities, more jobs and more hope.
    Chaitén is a beautiful city in the south of Chile, located near Puerto Montt.  Its humid and rainy climate has given rise to millenarian native forests of coigüe, larch, lenga and ňirre.  Some time ago the eruption of the volcano of the same name, Chaitén, brought about the destruction of a great part of this place. Now the city is being reconstructed in another beautiful place, surrounded by beautiful landscape.
    This yarn is new and has been stored in a smoke-free/pet-free home.
