penguins 
as well as scarves, hats, and mittens, and more.   

Kenana Knitters helps rural women find some much
needed income utilizing their spinning and knitting skills.
They use homespun wool produced locally in Kenya,
                                          flag
and knit beautiful animals, kid's hats, scarves & mittens,
and many other items.  The wool comes naturally in
cream, browns and greys, from the multi-colored flocks
of local sheep!  Other colors are obtained fromdying the
wool with native plants, propagated and grown in their
garden, so as not to adversely impact the environment.
