Made in India.
Note from KnitPro: "Your purchase ...helps bring a smile (and a job!) to 350+ female artisans in our factory in Rajasthan, India, an area with more than 2,000 years of arts and crafts history. We're also proud to share that our policy is to never refuse a job (or a smile!) to a woman looking for work. After all, we believe that -- through knitting -- we can make the world a better place."
