The floor is freezing and you’re still in bed. We get it. But a cozy pair of socks waiting by your bedside might just convince you to get up. 🧦

Our Pampa Striped Socks are handknit one pair at a time by master artisans in Peru’s Sacred Valley. Soft, breathable alpaca yarn brings warmth to chilly mornings, with subtle variations that make each pair unique and we have gorgeous colors for you to choose from!

We call them our perfect stay-at-home socks. But if you decide to take them out on an adventure, just remember to give them a little extra care. Hand wash in cold water to keep those delicate alpaca fibers happy.

Before Encuentros took shape, there were colors, textures, and moments gathered together.

A glimpse at the inspiration behind the collection: the meeting of light and shadow, bold color and quiet detail, generations of weaving knowledge and new possibilities.

From these first threads to the finished pieces, Encuentros is a story of connection, between the artisan, her craft, and you.

There are a few details in Encuentros we’re especially excited about!! 👀

You asked, we listened: the bucket and crossbody bags now have adjustable straps, so you can find the right fit for wherever the day—or night—takes you.

Our best seller, the crescent bag, got a new leather backing on its strap too. It gives it a bit more structure, changes the way it sits on your shoulder, and adds some extra durability.

And our go-everywhere Cosmetic Bags now have a wider opening, making room for longer essentials—like makeup brushes and all those little things that never quite seem to fit.

And yes… our classic pom poms need their moment too.

Take a look for yourself 👀

¿Cuánto tiempo hay realmente detrás de una pieza tejida a mano? 🧶

How much time really goes into a handwoven piece? 🧶

Yesterday, we joined the women of Awaq Phuña in the Patacancha Valley to better understand the time and work behind each product.

And it’s more than hours at the loom. Setting it up, balancing weaving with motherhood and daily responsibilities, and the different rhythms of each artisan all shape the process.

By learning from artisans across generations, we can better reflect their time, skills, and labor in our pricing. 🤎

Ayer estuvimos con las artesanas de Awaq Phuña, en el valle de Patacancha, para comprender mejor el tiempo y el trabajo detrás de cada producto.

Y es mucho más que las horas frente al telar. Prepararlo, combinar el tejido con la maternidad y las responsabilidades diarias, y los distintos ritmos de cada artesana también forman parte del proceso.

Conocer mejor estos tiempos nos ayuda a reflejar de manera más justa su trabajo, conocimiento y dedicación en nuestros precios. 🤎

Between dawn and dusk.
Between past and present.
Between the artisan and her loom.

There are moments where stories, traditions, and lives meet.

Encuentros was inspired by these spaces of encounter—the quiet connections woven through everyday life in the Andes. Between hands and fiber. Family and community. What has been passed down and what is still becoming.

A collection rooted in the beauty of encounters.

Encuentros.

Entre el amanecer y el atardecer.
Entre el pasado y el presente.
Entre la artesana y su telar.

Hay momentos en los que convergen historias, tradiciones y vidas.

Encuentros nace de esos espacios donde todo confluye, de los vínculos silenciosos que se tejen en la vida cotidiana de los Andes. Entre las manos y la fibra. Entre la familia y la comunidad. Entre lo que se transmite de generación en generación y lo que aún está tomando forma.

Una colección que nace de la belleza de los encuentros.

Encuentros.

This is Encuentros ✨

Between artisan and loom, past and present, tradition and daily life, each piece begins with an encounter—a meeting place where stories, knowledge, and art are woven together.

Handwoven bags, knits, handspun yarn, and baby knits bring generations of Andean textile knowledge into the present. Each piece is made slowly and intentionally by skilled Quechua master artisans.

Meet Encuentros, our newest collection.

Where does a skein of yarn go after it leaves Huilloc? Sometimes, onto Sydney Graham’s knitting needles 🧶

We were so happy to see Awamaki yarn in Sydney’s latest fall projects video. This handspun yarn comes from our work with K**i Qoyllur Cooperative, with support from Project Redwood, and it’s pretty special to see it travel from the Sacred Valley into someone else’s creative process.

Thank you Sydney for sharing it, and Project Redwood for supporting the yarn project 💛

You can spot the Awamaki yarn around 6:10 in the video:

Things got serious in the kitchen 👀

We welcomed Ashlee and Tom from the TomLee WorldTour into the kitchen for a hands-on cooking experience and invited them to help us create our first video told through the perspective of guests experiencing it for themselves!

We made two Peruvian classics: papa a la huancaína and rocoto relleno, guided by Jenny, our amazing cook, who leads Awamaki’s cooking classes. 💛

More from the kitchen soon 👀
