| A warm welcome in the office, Paddy and Kerry sent me on a tour of their operations. |
 |
| Quality wool is spun and later purchased in bulk from local vendors. The wool is dyed at Kenana using natural dyes by boiling for 2-3 hours. |
 |
| After boiling, the wool is hung to dry in a fenced area to keep the critters from using the wool to make their homes. |
 |
| Beautiful, warm colors! |
 |
| The wool is then weighed, recorded, and stored in a shipping container. |
 |
| Once work assignments are given, wool is weighed and distributed. |
 |
| Most of the ladies take their knitting home, but many frequent Kenana for the social benefits. |
 |
| After knitting, the various pieces are washed and laid in the sun to dry. |
 |
| I found this guy sunbathing. |
 |
| Once the knitting and washing are finished, the ladies return to Kenana to assemble the various parts. |
 |
| The women seemed to thoroughly enjoy sitting together to finish their work. |
 |
| This group was very boisterous, you could easily see the value of their social connections. |
 |
| Once complete, these ladies both work on their own knitting and work to label and record inventory. |
 |
| You always know who labored over these fierce animals. |
 |
| And into the storage room they go fulfilling or awaiting your order. |
 |
| Though some products make it as far as this beautiful retail shop. |
