Started in 1977 and now providing employment to 107 women, this craft cooperative specialises in high-quality woven woollen goods. The women will show you the process of spinning, cleaning and dyeing the wool before you browse the selection of rugs and shawls. The store is a short walk past the main market on Laikipia Rd.
