Aran Cardigan – 100% Merino Wool

We started this project to enable women in rural areas as well as cities throughout South Africa to earn an income knitting blankets, using South African 100% pure natural karoo merino wool. We provide these women with the means to create a product out of natural wool sheared from the very sheep which surround them. The provision of a simple pattern, needles and pure wool is the catalyst for them to generate an income, enjoy a community spirit of working in a group and experience feelings of achievement and of being valued.
