This yarn is made by a Peruvian women'e cooperative that has a Fair Trade application in progress. The women come from the poorest localities in Lima, and are given Fair Trade conditions, including masks and arm protectors while spinning, good pay, and a litre of milk a day as a nutritional supplement. The money that they make helps their children to obtain an education.
