Deep rust tones, playful long limbs and a mischievous expression: TAMY is a tamarin monkey hand-knitted in Kenya from bouclé wool. Locally grown dahlia flowers give the wool its rich rust colour, a plant dye that lends each piece its own depth of shade. This cheeky companion is inseparable from BORIS the orangutan, forming a distinctive duo. A unique handcrafted piece, signed by its knitter, to give or keep.
Each piece is knitted and sewn by hand in Kenya by the women artisans of Kenana Knitters, a social enterprise based in Njoro. The wool comes from small Kenyan farms that do not practise mulesing. Depending on the colour, the shades come from natural undyed wool, plant dyes or conventional dyes free from azo dyes and cadmium.
Each piece is signed by the woman who knitted it. Slight variations in shade or shape make your soft toy unique – a companion to give, keep and pass on.
