Over time with clever designs Patricia and the knitters transformed the yarn into unique creations. Kenana knitters provides a safe family friendly working environment allowing women to work and take charge of their lives with a decent income using their skills and creativity. Today the cooperative has nearly 600 knitters and 200 spinners creating these wonderful critters.
