Knitting
with an ALTITUDE!!!
In their latest project
they are contracting with hill tribes in Laos whom are developing silk worm farming in an effort to replace a lucrative
business in opium poppies with a legal and sustainable business in silk. They use only silk from communities for thier extraordinary
silk yarn. In addition, the silk is then hand-dyed using only traditional natural dyes grown in Laos. The hand-dyeing
is done according to the high standards set by Laos' most prominent bio-chemists working in the field of natural dyes
today and produce a yarn of extreme luminosity and beauty unlike any seen on the market today.
