Item Description

Hand knit in Lima Peru by the women of Lumbreras, a dusty hillside in one of Latin America's largest cities. Our knitters are single women raising children on their own. In our workshop they produce these wonderful finger puppets and can feed their children and watch over them. They are paid Fair Trade standard wages and are able to support their families. Most importantly, they have learned a trade that will allow the to make a living and they have pride for the work they do.
