Amy Swanson from June Cashmere
Amy Swanson, USA Operations Manager for June Cashmere, will take us to Kyrgyzstan in her talk about Kyrgyzstan’s textile history, the recent discovery of highest quality cashmere goats, a peek at shepherd life in Kyrgyzstan, and the strides that June Cashmere founder Sy Belohlavek and his team are making toward the ethical and sustainable production of cashmere in Kyrgyzstan. Additionally, Amy will share insights about cashmere in general and June Cashmere’s yarn production and qualities specifically. . . and if the time change with Kyrgyzstan-Madison allows, we will call Sy in Kyrgyzstan to allow interactive engagement and questions with Sy directly.
