<span style='color: #333399;'>Welcome</span>

Welcome

to our secure on-line shop where you will find a unique range of goods hand made by the native people of South Africa who have been given a chance to learn and develop skills to enable them to improve their lifestyles.
We source all of our products ourselves and you can find information about our suppliers and the different projects that we support in our Meet the Artists pages.

Injabulo is a Zulu word for happiness and you can be assured that purchase of any of our beautiful products helps towards lives being changed for the better. The artists earn a wage far above the minimum. Many of them live in rural areas where there is very little work. A decent wage means that they can buy good nourishing food, pay for education for their children but most importantly hold their heads high and live with dignity.

Thank you

Serina

Serina

£30.00

Serina (111m per 50g ball) is classed as a 4-ply yarn, but we have found it is more of a lightweight DK. It can be easily used as either, but as it has a sensational draping property, the looser the knitting, the more fluid it will hang.
The bamboo plant is grown in the mountains of China. It has high antibacterial properties, so it does not need to be sprayed. The plant is cut and chopped and pulped and then the resin is extracted and spun it into a filament. These are then spun into a fibre, (which is how Vinni receives it). The fibres are then twisted together with the organic cotton.
Bamboo retains 70% of its antibacterial properties after it has been processed.
PRICE IS FOR 500 GRAMME PACK OF OF ONE COLOUR

Bambi

Bambi

£30.00

Bambi (88m per 50g ball) is a DK weight but, we feel it is more of a heavyweight DK so can be knitted on 4.5mm needles. This range really lends itself to children’s wear and accessories.
The colourfast, hand-dying process creates a unique marbled effect, and both yarns are machine washable at 40C.

PRICE IS FOR 500 GRAMME PACK OF ONE COLOUR

Pack of 10 Beads

Pack of 10 Beads

£6.25

Simply gorgeous hand made beads. Choose from a variety of shades and prepare to be delighted.
There are just too many different colours, shapes and sizes to show everything so we have opted to give you the choice of shades and will send 10 matching beads but as they are all hand made each bead will be very slightly different from any other.
Each bead measures between 1cm - 2cm.
