Welcome to our new website dedicated to our handmade Kyrgyz craft business. We have been working with artisans in Central Asia for over 10 years bringing their traditional crafts to the USA and finally we are at a point where we can offer our customers an opportunity to find out more about the country and Kyrgyzstan online and even buy some of our products from our Etsy Store Page.
On this site we have included details of just some the products that we offer at our store located in Helena, Montana. All of our items are handmade from natural wools, mostly merino and karakol, many using traditional methods and techniques.
We hope you enjoy your site and all the wonderful crafts we have to offer.

Kyrgyz women using the traditional methods of felting
|
We work directly with Artisans in Kyrgyzstan, assisting them in marketing their crafts in the United States. We buy from women in remote villages who use traditional felting techniques and also from contemporary designers in the capitol city of Bishkek.
There is a movement within the country to revive felt making and to design and create new products for the western market. Small workshops are popping up around the country allowing many women to work within their villages and from their homes. We work directly with these women to organize a fair-trade business benefiting the local artisans of Kyrgyzstan and bringing their unique products to American market. |
Our stock is constantly changing and every shipment brings in new products. Therefore, we recommend checking in to our site periodically to see what's new. If you would prefer to touch and feel things before you buy, we have a retail store located in Helena, Montana.
We travel the country selling at trunk shows, fiber arts festivals and putting on exhibitions. If you would like us to do a trunk show or give a presentation on traditional felt making in Central Asia for your store, club or gallery , please give us a call. Our commission to you can be a wonderful fund raiser for your group or business. Please check our 'Contact Us' page for more details.
