These beanies are lovingly made by Artisans in Nepal who spin and dye raw wool from New Zealand using azo-free dyes. They hand-knit the Beanies using bright and varied colours, making these Beanies totally unique. The whole process is Sustainable and Eco-friendly as Uplift Fair Trade have chosen to source this product that uses the leftover pieces of wool that would otherwise be thrown out.
