Looking for something unique, cute and cuddly, and contemporary at the same time?  No probLLAMA!  Our handknit Lllama is a perfect combination of cute and stylish - it's soft and huggable, and wears perfect pompoms and a handknit saddle!  Both kids and adults will love it - it's perfect for hugging and also for adding some color into your home.  It comes in two colors - Rose and Terracotta!  

Our knitted Llamas measures approximately 17 inches tall, and around 9 inches long.  Do remember, that each hand knit item is unique and sizes may vary slightly.   

Hand knit with love by a mama who also plants rice in the rice terraces (take a look at the P20 bill to see what they look like).

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.
