Origins: The Q’ewar Project In the rural highlands of the Andes Mountains outside of Cuzco, Peru, a small social work initiative based around the production of Waldorf dolls has transformed a community. Founded in 2002, the project began in the village of Andahuaylillas as a way to give the residents an opportunity to work in supportive conditions for a fair wage; and to use their local knowledge, materials and skills to produce beautiful products and fund important changes in the community. The process of crafting one Waldorf doll takes about five days from beginning to end. The Quechua women clean, card, and spin the wool, hand-dye all of the materials, and bring each component together into a beautiful, lovable doll. All workers are paid according to the guidelines of Fair Trade, whether crafting and assembling the dolls by hand, spinning wool, or herding sheep. Some of the profits are used to improve the quality of life for the villagers by funding the installation of water systems, drainage, electricity, and plumbing in homes. Along with materially improving living conditions, the Q’ewar Project assists in the development of personal growth and self-esteem for the villagers, especially the women. Each week, families gather to share their issues and successes. Through openly discussing topics such as health concerns, child-care, and their home and work situations, they are able to develop trust and demonstrate care for each other. What began in one small room with just a few participants has now developed into several workshops within a flourishing community, all transformed by simple dolls and a clear vision. The project has built a Waldorf school called Wawa Munakuy, which means “giving love to the children” in the Quechua language. The Q’ewar Project has received official recognition in Peru, opening it up for funding and training support. We are proud to support this project by offering these beautiful, handmade dolls. It is inspiring that these dolls have brought smiles to the faces of the people who make them, and will go on to bring joy and love to the children who care for them.

WHY CARRY YOUR BABY OR TODDLER? From the moment your baby is born he craves your touch and is most content when you are close by. The easiest way to keep him with you is to use a carrier such as our tri•cottti, tricot wrap (available online), bb sling, bb wrap or bb tai, all from one of Europe’s most trusted brands, Babylonia. The advantages of babywearing don’t end at keeping him close. Additional benefits include:
Safety + Security: When he is being carried, you know where he is and that he is safe. Less Crying: Because he is with you, he feels less need to communicate his needs the only way he knows how. Stimulates Balanced Development: Being with you means that he can adjust to the myriad stimuli he experiences in the safety of your presence. Encourages Fathers’ Involvement: Adjusting to a new baby can be challenging for fathers. Learning to use a
carrier provides a bonding experience that lasts. For your child, Babylonia has designed each carrier to meet his developmental needs. For you, they have created full-color manuals that will have you comfortable carrying him in no time. Of course, if you still have questions or need assistance with choosing or using a carrier, contact us and we’ll be happy to help.

WOOLEN CLOTHING FEATURES Soft and gentle next to the skin Breathable, does not cause perspiration Absorbs moisture without feeling wet Warms you even when damp Naturally fire resistant
ECOLOGICALLY PRODUCED WOOLEN CLOTHING neck opening snug to keep cold out
organic wool
For more than 25 years, Ruskovilla has been producing environmentally friendly woolen clothing in Finland. It is natural that a Finnish company would be at the forefront of ecological and technical innovation in the production of garments designed to keep you warm; Finland is well known for both its love of the outdoors and its cold winters. Beginning in 2006, Ruskovilla transitioned to the use of certified organic wool across their product line for the health of the world as well as your family.
cuffed wrists for growing and keeping cold out
adjustable waistband for comfort and growing
Why wool? It maintains the body’s optimal temperature in cold and hot environments, while feeling good on the skin. It breathes, so it keeps you warm but doesn’t make you sweat. Especially important for children, wool is naturally fire-resistant, unlike synthetics that require only a spark to ignite. Here in Vermont, we know something about cold, too. The woolens we choose to keep our children warm through the long winter are the same we offer you — Ruskovilla for natural warmth.
Wool breathes
Wool becomes curly when wet
double knees for durability
naturally wicking water away from the skin.
cuffed ankles for growing and keeping cold out
super fine Merino wool
leaving more air between the skin and the knitted fabric, so you stay warm.
non-Merino wool
Super fine Merino wool fibers are seven times finer than those of other wools, so they are soft and elastic.

woolens sizing All clothing measurements are in inches.
woolens care We recommend using a cleaning product specifically designed for washing wool, such as our Eucalan Woolwash #4274. Washing by hand and laying flat to dry will minimize shrinkage and lengthen the life of the garments. As an alternative, using the delicate or gentle cycle of your washing ma-
chine may provide you good results. Occasionally treat nappy pants with a wool conditioner like our Sonnet Wool Conditioner #3444. This will replenish the natural lanolin and ensure they retain their natural water repellance.

A NEW ADVENTURE Dear Friends, When our family moved to Vermont from New Jersey nine years ago, we knew that we wanted a different kind of life for ourselves and we believed that we would find it here. We were hoping for a life a bit more connected to nature, to the sources of our sustenance and to community. Our dreams were more than fulfilled as we came to love our adopted home state and its natural wonders, local foods and welcoming native Vermonters. It has been interesting in the intervening years to observe how many other people across the country have sought to bring these same elements into their own lives. Some folks like us have moved from an urban to a rural locale. Some have learned to make do with less and spend more time in their communities. Still others have taken the time to become connected to farmers or started gardening. These new choices are not, of course, confined merely to people’s food and community, but also find expression in how they are choosing to raise their children. Surrounding children with fewer, better constructed products (toys and otherwise), babywearing, alternative schooling, greater involvement of both parents in childrearing, these are all ways that this cultural shift is showing itself. Seeing this happen all around us, this embracing of old traditions merged with a new conception of the family has led us to a new adventure, our involvement in creating a new print magazine: Taproot. With Amanda Blake Soule (of the soulemama.com blog) and Jason Miller (designer and photographer at Nova), we and our contributors have created an ad-free, quarterly journal filled with essays, crafts, recipes, photography, original illustrations and more. We’re closing in on our first year of publishing and it has been a terrific experience. We hope that you’ll visit Taproot’s website (taprootmag.com) and learn more, pick up some back issues (also available at novanatural.com) or subscribe.
Warmly, Susan + Ted Blood susan@novanatural.com ted@novanatural.com
