By choosing this yarn, you’re supporting ethical craftsmanship and empowering artisans to provide for their communities.
The cooperative also runs a powerful education initiative, providing artisans and their children with access to basic literacy and numeracy skills. The program also offers knowledge about health, hygiene and environmental issues, fostering growth and empowerment. The poorest in the community even receive free books and notebooks to support their educational journey.
In addition to its stunning aesthetics and ethical production, the Recycled Spun Sari Silk yarn offers versatility for a range of fibre art projects.
