Christmas Sheep Stocking Pachamama

100% wool · Hand knitted · Fair trade and handmade in Nepal

Pachamama has been working with the same knitters in Nepal for over 20 years, paying above local rates and placing orders all year round so the work is steady rather than seasonal. Pure wool, no synthetic blend, and knitted by hand, so no two pieces come out quite the same.

Pachamama was founded in the UK in 1990 by David Child and Cathy Stirland, offering goods brought back from the Andes on a market stall in London. Since 1996 Pachamama has fairly traded handmade 100% wool clothing, accessories and homeware made in Nepal. Most pieces are knitted in villages, where the work tops up farm income, and Pachamama has stayed with some of the same producers for more than 20 years. The brand is a member of BAFTS, the Fair Trade Network UK, following the World Fair Trade Organisation's 10 principles. Pachamama gives at least 10% of profit on every sale to children's charities in Nepal, including Net4kids and Right4Children.
