Collection: Pure Eco-Responsible Wool

Studio Matongé proudly offers Kenana Knitters products, crafted from pure merino wool in an eco-responsible manner. This merino wool is locally sourced from farms near Kenana's production sites in Kenya.

The wool is carefully selected, then hand-spun by skilled spinners using old bicycle wheels – a process that eschews machines and assembly lines for a completely handcrafted approach.

After spinning, the wool is gently washed with mild soap, then dyed in baths of vegetable dye made from organic plants and vegetables grown on the cooperative's land. Beetroot creates coral hues, dahlia flowers for yellows and coppers, red cabbage for blues…

Once the wool is spun, washed, dyed, and dried, each item, be it decorative pieces or comforters, is meticulously hand-knitted and sewn by the women artisans of the cooperative, ensuring each piece is made with utmost care and quality.
