In Uruguay we work with the largest network of women-run co-operatives in the country. All of the yarns they use are handspun start to finish — from the shearing to the spinning to the dying.
The abstract throws are handwoven on pedal looms by one group of women. They are then transferred to another group of women who needle felt all of the shapes using top merino onto the woven blankets.
