Mika - women's wool knit convertible mittens

Lost Horizons Hand Knit in Nepal

This unique item has been designed and hand knit exclusively for Lost Horizons in Nepal. The Nepali women, who are artisans of their trade, initially received instruction and assistance, in the art of knitting, from the British Peace Corps in Nepal. Lost Horizons first began working with one small workshop and a group of 25 women in 1985. The number of women who are supported by Lost Horizons has grown tremendously over the last 30 years. Today we work with more than 800 women and have a total of 8 workshops. Your purchase directly contributes to this cottage industry and provides a valuable source of income to these women.
