Hi , I have always been interested in organic products be it fashion or food . At the moment my project is working with a Womens cooperative of over 500 women from India . They make beautiful hand knitted and woven products in cashmere , nettle , lambswool and oak silk . Naturally dyed in over 30 colours they really are lovely quality . My aim is to expand these products in the U.K. as I have been given exclusive rights to the U.K. market . All proceeds in India go directly to the womens cooperative and it is hoped that a further 1,000 women in the area will be trained by setting up more cooperatives .

Mary and Maryse...good isnt it...my dogs look like jack russels but are in fact a japanese bread mix from Okinawa..they are excellent natured. I now just have the mom and one of her male pups...love them
I am very interested in your co-operative as I am a weaver and my girlfriend handspins her wool. she is also growing cotton so we will see what we can do. I have friends i consider family in Himachel who dont live a very fancy life but are wonderful weavers and spinners...the more women get support in India the better for the future of the children and earth...peace to you and i will write again......i support an incense making monastery that makes organic Tibetan incense. the money goes to support a reforestation project in the Hymalays and other community projects bringing the Indian community and Tibetan community closer together... pleave visit the websight lamachodpa.com i think it should come up onthe web....cheers to you Mary love and best wishes Maryse
