Hankering for Yarn

Inspiration – good news about weavers

My daughter found this wonderful piece on boingboing. (thanks Luv!)

This is just thrilling…. a co-operative is forming under the aspices of  the  non-profit Architecture for Humanity and Lulan Artisans to train young women in Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and India to create stable incomes through weaving. This is a way of resisting the pressure to succumb to human trafficing.

Here’s the link: Weaving co-op
