Celebrate with Ingenzi Knit Union and Indego Africa

This fall, Ingenzi Knit Union and Indego Africa completed an epic order of hand knit Sarapo Loop scarves for Anthropologie.  It was not only the largest in Indego's history, but also the largest knitwear order sent from Rwanda to the United States, ever! Now that's something to celebrate. Share the joy in this video of Indego Africa's incredible partner, The Ingenzi Knit Union, as they celebrate their historic order for Anthropologie!







Like what you see?  The Sarapo Loop scarf is available at Anthropologie's U.S. and U.K. stores and at Indego's online store. These stylish color-blocked scarves are made of soft, fluffy yarn and come in two colors: saffron and winter white. Incredibly soft and cozy, this scarf wraps around the neck three times for extra warmth and style.  Conceived by superstar Anthropologie designer Linda Trau, guided by Rwanda Knits, and produced by Indego Africa's inspiring partner cooperatives Hope, Mpore Mama, Hosiana, and Susuruka - operating together as The Ingenzi Knit Union (IKU).
