The wool used is sourced locally in Kenya and then hand carded and spun by Kenana Knitter spinners.

Naturally dyed - the plants and vegetables used for dyeing are either found on the farm or purchased at local markets eg beetroot and red cabbage are from the markets and the dahlia flower field or trees on the farm provides the petals or leaves for certain colours.
