Sisters United Socks

These socks are designed to harness the warm and loving spirit of the knitting community. Caitlin Hunter came up with this project in conjunction with her friend Candice English, the creative force behind The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers. She has created an amazing initiative called Sisters United which supports Native American women.

Sisters United is a community based initiative supported by fellow makers to raise money to support organizations that are dedicated to support Native American Women. Due to trans generational trauma, cultural genocide, and colonization, Native women are one of the most at risk minorities in the United States for domestic violence, rape, murder, human trafficking, health related problems, suicide, and drug abuse. We believe that a spark of change in a community begins with strong women and positive family foundations. Our goal is to bring a small offering of financial substance to programs who support Native Women, Youth, and Communities. We also pledge to do the ground work for these issues, including bringing education and awareness on our platforms and working with local Human Trafficking and MMIW task force.
