ALPACA KNIT DOLLS & ALPACA FUR ANIMAL DOLLS
December 15, 1995, Juliana Miranda Flores organized women in her district into a group they named Barolina Sisa, after a local heroine. Her town, Pisacoma, is very high up in the mountains near the Bolivian border. It is an alpaca area, very inaccessible with a bus coming only once a week. This womens group works exclusively with the alpaca wool, knitting all sorts of clothing. There is also this adorable alpaca toy made with the fur of the alpaca. |

| The alpaca dolls made by a group called AAASIQUA, are hand knit using only natural, un-dyed wool. Some will be mostly brown, others gray, cream, beige. There is lots of detail such as the knit petticoat and tights not seen in photo. Divinely soft! |
