Meet our newest purples: Plum & Wisteria!
Super chunky yarn like no other. Each vibrant ball of Tough Love is skillfully hand-felted by our team in Kathmandu. And Tough Love was given its name for a reason—you'll find that it's super strong and resilient felt. This rough and tumble member of the Love Fest family is fantastic for rugs, poufs, pet beds and baskets as well as macrame and weaving projects. (We'd say it's a little too rough for blankets & wearables).
Each 50 yard bowling ball-size Tough Love takes 3-4 hours to create. We've been partnering with our workshop of skilled women artisans to create this collection since early 2014. Today it helps provide vital job opportunities as they face ongoing development challenges.
