Kenana Knitters Ltd. Founded in 1998 by Patricia Nightingale in Njoro, Kenya, the brand aims to support women in the local community by utilizing their spinning and knitting skills. Kenana Knitters offers a range of stunning 100% wool and organic cotton gifts that are hand-knitted by these talented women.

By directly providing a source of income, the brand enables these women to improve the quality of their lives and that of their extended families. With a commitment to supporting the local community, Kenana Knitters empowers over 300 rural Kenyan women to knit a brighter future. In addition, over 200 spinners hand spin the wool into yarn using recycled bicycle wheels made into spinning wheels.

Knitting is an ideal craft within the local community as it requires minimal equipment and can be done in small pockets of time amidst other responsibilities. This is especially important as agricultural wages are insufficient to support large and extended families. In rural Kenya, women face various challenges, including limited rights and access to land ownership.

They are often tasked with juggling domestic duties, agricultural work, childcare, and more, with little compensation for their efforts. Kenana Knitters strives to alleviate some of these struggles by providing a sustainable income and empowering these remarkable women. Overall, Kenana Knitters is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of women in rural Kenya through their beautiful hand-knit products and sustainable income opportunities.

By supporting this brand, you are not only getting high-quality gifts but also contributing to the empowerment and betterment of these remarkable women and their families
