Kenana Knitters was set up in 1998 to help rural women in Njoro, Kenya. The group buys homespun wool produced locally, then knits it into toys and other items. They believe in using environmentally friendly and ecologically sustainable materials and processes to support their farming communities in Africa. Money earned by the Kenana Knitters goes directly to the women who are able to improve their quality of life for themselves and their children.
The wool comes naturally in cream, browns and greys and part of the charm of the items is the many different shades, the same as those of the multi-coloured flocks of local sheep! Each toy has been handmade and no two look exactly the same. Each soft toy comes with information about the project and is even signed by the woman who made it. They have the CE mark and are suitable from birth with supervision (there are some woollen tassles on them which can be removed). All the items are fully washable and easy to care for and will not be something every single child is modelling this season!
Tish Tash Toys offers you the option to choose beautiful unique crafted toys from a fair trade, environmentally friendly project. You can help rural women in Kenya find a much needed income by supporting their wonderful spinning and knitting skills.

| I have a real passion for hand knitted toys. All my childhood cuddle toys were knitted by my Mum. These lions are beautifully knitted but all may be a slightly different size and have an individual look, as all genuine handmade toys should. They each come with a tag that gives you the name of the remarkable lady in Kenya that knitted it. How wonderful to be able to give a gift to a child and at the same time being able to support these talented rural Kenyan women. - Jo - Hampshire |

| Knitted toys are such a wonderful gift to give to any child and these are no exception. Every lion is handmade and therefore no two are the same each one having small differences in shape, size and colour. The Kenyan women who knit these toys give each one a tag with their name on it so you know who made it,and also you know that the money they earn goes to them. - Natasha Leonard - Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk |
