When the heat arrives, the body asks for lightness. Garments transform: they seek to breathe, move naturally, and accompany every gesture without weight or rigidity. Summer is an invitation to explore fibers that feel fresh, soft, and alive.
Summer yarns respond not only to the climate but also to an aesthetic: luminous colors, fluid textures, and natural drape. At AMANO Yarns, we understand that each season has its own textile language, and summer speaks in pima cotton, linen blends, lightweight baby alpaca, and structures that allow the skin to breathe.
Natural fibers for the heat: composition and performance
Natural fibers have a key advantage over synthetics: they regulate temperature, absorb moisture, and provide a superior tactile experience.
- Peruvian pima cotton, for example, is recognized worldwide for its softness, strength, and breathability.
- Linen, with its porous structure, allows air to circulate and adds a rustic yet elegant texture.
- Lightweight baby alpaca, although often associated with winter, in the right blends can offer a silky, fresh sensation—perfect for transitional seasons.
AMANO Yarns’ summer yarns combine these properties with responsible processes, natural dyes, and a palette designed to connect with light, movement, and the emotion of the season.

Weaving summer with intention
Summer yarns are not just a technical choice; they are an aesthetic and emotional statement. At AMANO Yarns, each fiber is designed to accompany the body, the climate, and creativity.
SAMI, CHASKI, AWA, INTI, DUNA, and PALMA are more than yarns: they are tools to create garments that breathe, move, and tell stories.
Weaving summer is weaving with intention. It means choosing fibers that connect with nature, with design, and with the emotion of creating something that feels good, looks good, and lives better.
