Vicuña.

The vicuña lives exclusively in the wild, in the Upper Andes between 3500 and 5000 metres above sea level, and an adult produces no more than 250 grams of wool in a year, which explains the extreme value of this fibre.  Still sheared today with the same authentic art of processing it as used in the past, Vicuña is regarded as the finest animal fibre in the world with extraordinary characteristics of lightness, softness and resistance. The vicuña yarn, which reaches 12 microns, is one of the world's thinnest animal fibres; in order to respect the natural beauty and exclusivity of the fibre, it is used mainly in its original shades which range from a golden brown to an intense fawn.
