This lovely cotton yarn is laboriously handspun on a drop spindle in Ethiopia by women working for a small cooperative comprised of single mothers.  A single skein of yarn requires approximately 736 yards of handspun yarn.

The yarn is then imported into Rwanda where the ladies of Handspun Hope ply the yarn with spinning wheels into a two-ply yarn. We have lovingly hand dyed this yarn in Minnesota.
