What if your knitting practice, could ignite positive change?



 

KALA COTTON - is a short staple organic cotton. It is a genetic reflection of the habitat it has evolved with.  It requires very small financial investment - sustaining farmer and artisan livelihoods with minimal inputs. Sourcing cotton directly from a land-owning farmer ensures that all earned revenue cycles back to the families who cultivate these crops.The first collection of handspun yarn we are proposing is made from one of the oldest non GMO cotton varietals still in existence.


 

 


To Bring this project to life, a yarn technician will be hired to support plying workshops with the spinners, and to train new artisans.


 

Your order will also come with an innovative N.F.C (Near Field Communication) button.

Lightly tap the N.F.C button with your phone to access full supply chain transparency. This process engages some of the technology used in 'apple pay'. (See this demonstrated at the very end of the video above from the time stamp 7:12 onwards.)
