Our products are taken through a series of processes.For instance the best Romney marsh, corriedale, Hampshire or merino sheep wool is sourced locally from farmers in the highlands of Kenya. It is then sorted, hand carded, spun and plied into different sizes. The skeins are then washed thoroughly,treated and dyed using vegetable dyes or chemical dyes into a variety of tonal shades of colors, which are all color fast.

The yarn is then hand woven into a variety of products which include carpets, wall hangings, blankets, shawls, throws and scarves.
