Soft Toy MONKEY Made in Kenya / 38cm

Product information "Soft Toy MONKEY Made in Kenya / 38cm"

Njoro, Kenya: This cuddly MONKEY is made entirely by hand here – knitted by a single knitter, stitch by stitch.

Since 1998, over 300 knitters from rural village communities around Njoro have found work and a steady income at Kenana Knitters. The processing of virgin wool (sheep’s wool) plays a special role in this: converted bicycle wheels serve as spinning wheels, on which the wool is spun by hand into yarn before being crafted, piece by piece, into a unique item such as this monkey.

Did you know

Njoro, the home of Kenana Knitters, is also the childhood home of the British aviation pioneer Beryl Markham – who, in 1936, became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic from east to west. Her family home still stands today on Kenana Farm and can be booked as a guest house.
