Trimdin Mittens

Each piece is handmade in Nepal by skilled artisans with wool and fleece lining. The process involves dying the wool fibers with azo free dyes, hand knitting the fibers and adding a warm and comfortable fleece lining. Hand embroidered flowers are the final touch. In the end, the fibers come to life as unique knit accessories!

Using learned knitting skills from childhood, the knitters, all female, are able to earn income in their spare time, between caring for their family. If it was a full-time job, the knitters would not be able to take on work as their family needs come first. By earning income, the women also earn a stronger voice in their household.
