Peru
Our partners in Peru hand knit these intricately creative finger puppets. In Peru, knitting is not limited by gender or age, but rather woven into their culture and involves everyone in their community. Mothers teach young children to knit and the tradition of creating these fun whimsical creatures is passed on to young boys and girls. Knitting empowers the women of the community and household by providing an income while caring for their children and watching over their llamas and alpacas.
