In a small mountain town in Peru, 68 women get together to knit sweaters, hats, handbags and other items from the local alpaca wool.

They've organized as a collective called Artesania Pachamama, which means "Workshop of the Mother Earth," and use the profits from selling the sweaters to benefit their rural town of Manazo.
