IThemba Projects

In 2022 and 2023, I traveled to South Africa, where I had the opportunity to visit and support some of the poorest communities in the country. During my stay, I also visited IThemba Projects and witnessed firsthand the incredible and meaningful work they are doing there.

These experiences left a profound impression on me and made me realize the abundance we live with here in the West. Since then, I have been much more mindful about overconsumption – especially when it comes to clothing. I make a conscious effort to use and appreciate all of my clothes or pass them on to someone who will.

This realization became one of the driving forces behind starting Femiknit – to inspire the reuse of yarn, encourage thoughtful use of our resources, and contribute to taking better care of our planet.

For this reason, I have decided that for every purchased pattern, 10% will be donated to IThemba Projects and their important work in South Africa.
