What on Earth - is a Snooshy ?
It's a quirky little creature
knit from 100% YAK hair (yes, really !)
with a little 100% organic cotton thrown in.
with a little 100% organic cotton thrown in.
Snooshies are eco-friendly and fashionable -
they wear the latest beanies and leggings -made from 100% recycled clothing.
Snooshy was designed by Francis Horters,
and created with the help of a wonderful company called Shokay.
There are approximately 13 million yaks in Western China.
Shokay sources yak fibers directly from Tibetan herders - enabling them to earn
a sustainable long-term living - and to preserve their traditional lifestyle.
Snooshies are handknit
by a group of ladies in ChongMing Island near Shanghai.
The goal is "to build their skill-set in a safe and healthy work environment,
rewarding them fairly for their beautiful knitting talents".
A great product
on so many levels.
I think Snooshy will find a place
under more than a few trees
this holiday season.
