Knit Pick
Make a difference with your knitting
Add a selection of beautiful hand-dyed wool to your knitting bag, and help fund the building of a school for the children of Peruvian Alpaca farmers at the same time. A percentage of the proceeds from a range of participating yarns at John Lewis will be donated to the cause, making a difference to the education, and future, of many youngsters.
Knitting fans will adore the fantastic new 100% baby Llama yarns, and the beautiful choice of colours available. There are four different ranges supporting the Mirasol project, Miski, Hacho, Contanani and Sulka, each stunningly individual with rich detail.
John Lewis is working closely with the Mirasol Project so that a boarding school can be built at the top of the Andes, close to the Titicaca Lake, where the village of Munani is situated. The key aims of the plan are to provide good teachers, educate parents in nourishment and hygiene and hopefully, help them to become independent.
Yarn starts at £4.95 per ball. For your nearest branch see http://www.johnlewis.com
