What’s not to like about WOOLN, the fair trade yarn sourced from Peru and produced by Grandmothers in New York City? The rural families who rely on alpaca farming for an income are the beneficiaries of WOOLN’s ethically sourced alpaca yarn. Knitters over 60 create opulent garments at their New York City boutiques. Margaux Rousseau and Faustine Badrichani, the organization’s co-founders, set out to improve the lives of people worldwide, and they’re succeeding.
