Amano Duna Rawi – Organic Cotton & Alpaca 8 Ply Yarn

Amano Duna Rawi is a beautifully soft and breathable blend of 60% organic cotton and 40% alpaca. It is the fuller, cosier evolution of Amano’s much-loved Duna yarn, with extra body and structure while retaining a light, comfortable feel.

“Rawi” means poet or storyteller in Quechua, reflecting a yarn designed for creating pieces with warmth, texture and character. The cotton brings breathability and stitch definition, while alpaca adds softness, gentle warmth and an elegant drape. This makes Duna Rawi an especially versatile yarn for New Zealand’s changing seasons.

What can I make with Duna Rawi?

Duna Rawi is a lovely choice for sweaters, cardigans, relaxed tops, vests, scarves, cowls, hats and other accessories. Its balanced cotton-and-alpaca blend works particularly well for garments that need softness and warmth without feeling heavy. The plied construction also gives cables, ribs and textured patterns clear definition.

Is Duna Rawi suitable for summer?

Yes. The organic cotton content keeps the yarn breathable, while the alpaca adds light warmth. It is best suited to summer evenings, transitional garments and year-round layers rather than very hot-weather pieces.
