Tejemujeres, Ecuador

Tejemujeres, Ecuador


Tejemujeres is a cooperative founded in 1992 in Gualaceo, in the province of Azuay, Ecuador. They consist of approximately one hundred women who knit their products to improve the lives of their families and community. In many cases the women are the main earners of the family.
Tejemujeres inherited a tradition of skilled and quality knitting that began in the age of the Incans.

These products are made using only 100% natural wool, alpaca and cotton fibres and the profits of the cooperative are used to pay fair wages and to finance social, medical, and technical programs.
