Mango Moon ~ 'change the world one stitch at a time' Nepali Women Empowerment Group. Mango Moon supports the NGO Organisation N-WEG to help women who have been rescued from abusive situations. The women who come to the shelter are able to use their spinning and knitting skills to rebuild their lives while continuing to care for their children. Proceeds provide safe shelter, health care, education and the dignity of financial independence. Please visit the website: www.mangomoonyarns.com and see the wonderful range of recycled silk and sarong yarns as well as Yak, silk and cotton ribbons and a full range of other novelty yarns. Circular needles from water buffalo horn and bone are also available. Don't worry these animals are not killed for their bone and horn, they are integral part of the food chain in Nepal. The needles are a by-product! Also the revolutionary 'knitting noodles' have just been launched. Images to follow. In the meantime please refer to the website (Full pattern support is available.) |
