From the loom to your door
Nothing here is mass produced. Follow one piece from raw highland fiber, through the dye pots and the backstrap loom, to the parcel that lands on your doorstep and the foster animal it feeds.

Step 01 · Andean highlands
Fiber
It starts with alpaca and sheep fleece carried down from the highlands, sorted by hand and spun on a drop spindle the same way it has been for generations.
Step 02 · Cochineal, marigold, indigo
Dye
Color comes out of clay pots: cochineal for red, marigold for gold, plants and minerals for turquoise. Every batch lands a little different, and that is the point.
Step 03 · On the backstrap loom
Weave
Tight geometry, patient hands. A single panel can take days on a backstrap loom, and the pattern carries the maker's own signature.
Step 04 · Stitch by stitch
Embroider
Flowers, beads, and pom detail are set one stitch at a time. This is the step that makes two pieces from the same run refuse to look alike.
Step 05 · The atelier table
Finish
Hardware set, linings trimmed, each piece checked and wrapped in tissue with a woven ribbon tied by the person who made it.
Step 06 · Wherever you are
Doorstep
It travels from a workshop in Peru to your door, and 100% of the profit walks straight back out to feed and heal Kelly's foster animals.
The last step
Every stitch funds a foster
The makers get paid what they asked for, and every dollar of profit left over goes to food, vet care, and forever homes.
