As part of a worldwide effort to save the Mongolian snow leopard from extinction, the International Snow Leopard Trust has developed an initiative to create "Handspun Camel" knitting & crochet yarn. By training herding families in the region to spin & dye this yarn by hand, the Trust is providing economic opportunities to keep the tribes from hunting the cats for their pelts. Every hank of 100% "Handspun Camel" you buy helps with this effort & insures that this noteworthy partnership is successful.
Please Note: As with all handspun, hand-dyed yarns, colors & thicknesses of the strands will vary, and these features are what make each creation unique & one of a kind.
Also the availability of especially the dyed options is seasonal. Orders are received in June & October each year, and in the off season, you can pre-order your favorite dyed color so that the yarn will be shipped to you when it is back in stock.
