Tiwanaku Remembered
July 15, 2021Inca Tops researches and develops methods for safely shearing, esquila, alpacas that has become the accepted norm for shearing in Peru and is backed by the Peruvian government. Inca Tops visits alpaca breeders throughout Peru to train or perform the shearing themselves as part of an agreement with the Peruvian government. The yarn is traceable and the shearing technique is considered to be safe for the animals. Alpacas are a domesticated animal that need to be sheared in order to stay healthy and alive!
I’m including Inca Tops promotional video (sorry it’s in Spanish). Of course all the information I have is from the
company’s promotional information and I have not researched this further, other than browsing
the internet for other sources, and asking my suppliers in Peru who have not heard of any bad things
about Inca Tops.
I hope this information gives you a little piece of mind that hopefully the law suit addresses a small
group of horrible people and that the majority of alpacas are treated well and with respect.
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention and for supporting our business and our knitters.
