Knitter Critters
A range of knitted toys in a variety of natural and rich plant dye colours.Environmentally friendly and ecologically sustainable materials and processes. The range of products supports farming communities in Kenya and builds a secure future for their children.
Kenana Knitters started in 1998, the primary object being to help rural women find some much needed form of income utilising their spinning and knitting skills. The group buys homespun wool produced locally, then knits it into toys.
The wool comes naturally in cream, browns and greys. Part of the charm of the items is the many different shades, the same as those of the multi-coloured flocks of local sheep! Colours are obtained from dying the wool with traditional plants.
