These sweet plush rugs are hand-knit in Nakuru, Kenya by the amazing team at Kenana Knitters! Made using local, organic, natural wool and cotton fibers, as well as both AZO-free dyes and natural plant dyes from plants grown in the area, each rug is truly special.
Please note that these are made with a loose weave so are mostly decorative! They also make great throws and wall decor!
The Lion and Cow rugs have stuffed heads added for a bit of cushion on the floor!

Kenana Knitters began as a way to help the local farming community in Nakuru, Kenya make use of (and income from) wool that would otherwise be discarded or burned.
By first bringing the wool to market in Nairobi in the form of yarn, and eventually developing the idea of toys (the first of which was the zebra :), Kenana has created an ecosystem that is truly sustainable.
Spinning is done by the local community in Nakuru, typically on handmade spinning wheels made out of old bicycle wheels. Dyes are made from local plants and vegetables, for example, the stegasaurus was made with plumbago leaves, the bunnies, bears, giraffes and lions with plectranthus leaves, and the orange on the giraffe was achieved with dahlia flowers. Each of these animals is so special, and we hope you'll find someone special to share them with!
