Meet the Sheep
Merino sheep are raised in the central highlands of Kenya. Once the sheep are sheared, Artisans purchase the wool by the kilo, card the wool, and wash and dye it by hand. |
Spinning and Weaving
Nzuri Artisans spin the wool into yarn using only a foot-powered wheel. The yarn is dyed using native resources and hand-woven into beautiful rugs and other works. |
From kenya to your HomeNzuri Founder Paul Knoll purchases the finished rugs from the Nzuri women artisans, then imports and sells them in the United States through local retailers. |
The majority of the women are the sole breadwinners for their families, whose wages improve the quality of life through education, health care, and basic nutrition for their children and grandchildren. Through their work, the women gain community, support, and an opportunity to learn from each other.
