Opal the Orangutan (monkey) is ready to swing into your little one’s world with his playful spirit and big-hearted hugs. Strong yet soft, he’s the perfect buddy for exploring and snuggling up at bedtime.
Our Wool Knit Buddies are the perfect companion for your baby or toddler as they explore the great big world around them and the softest protector to snuggle with at bedtime.
Opal the Orangutan was lovingly hand-knit by artisans in a women’s collaborative in Kenya, with both community and the environment at heart. The wool is crafted from carefully selected organic, natural fibers, dyed with locally sourced, eco-friendly dyes. Where local dyes aren't available, AZO- and cadmium-free, non-toxic alternatives.
To ensure the highest quality, all products are washed at the workshop to fully set the dyes and prevent shrinkage—so your little one can enjoy Opal in perfect, lasting comfort.
