Arequipa Paint,
made in Peru
|
Estelle Arequipa is not only a perfect, machine washable sock yarn in juicy colours, but is also an amazing solution for autumn-winter clothing in deep hand painted shades and beautiful accessories knitted or crocheted in open-work patterns: scarves, caps, light jackets, shrugs, long lace gloves, etc.
For information: "Arequipa lies in the Andes mountains, the snow-capped volcano El Misti overlooks the city." Arequipa is the Peru's second largest city and the capital city of the Arequipa Region (southern Peru). The historic centre of Arequipa was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, in recognition of its architecture and historic integrity.
