I just discovered a wonderful not for profit yarn company and placed a big order for our fall classes: Frog Tree Yarns, distributed by T & C Imports. Their mission is to “supply meaningful and continuous work to various artisans and non-profit groups.”  Most of their yarns are produced by women and all of their fibers come from developing countries, specifically Bolivia and Peru. They provide a way for women to provide for their families’ basic needs and invest in community development.
Their products are fair trade and GORGEOUS. I purchased the Frog Tree Alpaca, which is produced by a non-profit cooperative in Bolivia. It is coming in 12 delightful colors and I look forward to you all using it in your upcoming projects. Photos coming soon on the supplies section of the website!
