This colorful Philippine Rooster reminds us of early mornings spent in the province! It is also a symbol of courage, pride and good fortune.
It measures approximately 12" in height. Do remember, that each hand knit item is unique and sizes may vary slightly.
Each piece is handknit with love by a mama who also plants in the rice terraces in Ifugao!
Knitting Expedition was begun as a way to provide supplementary income for the women of Ifugao to maintain the rice terraces. Instead of leaving the region to find better paying jobs, the income from the sales of the products allows them to stay and tend to the rice terraces that are not only an awe-inspiring legacy of their town but also of the Philippines and which has provided sustenance for generations of their families. The brand Knitting Expedition also signifies the journey of founders, Candy and Aueeie, as knitters and the distance that the hand-knit products have to travel to make it to your homes.
