hand knit - knit penguins
by Maureen @ 1:25 am post a comment »
Each one of these adorable penguins is hand-knit by women who are part of a collective of knitters in rural Kenya. The collective is involved with the East Africa Hub, a non-profit organization comprised of socially responsible businesses that provide a link between artisans and the marketplace.
The importer of these products takes personal care to monitor the safe, dignified and healthy working conditions. They are committed to: the welfare of the artisans, respecting and sustaining the environment, and promoting and practicing fair and open trade ethics and principles.
materials:
Natural wool yarn, treated with natural vegetable-based dyes.
Filled with acrylic.
dimensions:
Small: 4″ tall. Large: 16″ tall.
maker notes: the handmade quality of these items may lead to variations
Starting at $18.00 @ branch.com May sound crazy, but these charming creatures have cast a spell on me.
