I am really happy with your products and service. In particular "The New Internationalist" is a great resource for our Certificate 1V IN WOMEN'S EDUCATION where we study Global Issues for Women.

The magazine is a secular publication. Readers, both Christian and non-Christian, may not always agree with all its conclusions. But it is an excellent catalyst for better informed thought and action. It pulls no punches yet at the same time is written with sensitivity and compassion … could be of immense help in our becoming more globally aware and responsible citizens.

I wouldn't wipe my arse with the New Internationalist. Absorbing is one thing. Absorbent is another.

Julian Morrow - The Chaser

New Internationalist is a magazine well worth reading as it respects the intelligence of its readers. It is independent, lively and properly provocative, helping to keep its readers abreast of important developments in parts of our globe that risk marginalisation. Read it!.

Hand-knitted using yarn from fibres of the Himalayan giant nettle (allo). The unique quality of allo fibre is seen at its best in these soft lace-like shawls, which are fine enough to pull through a wedding ring. Made by the Allo Cloth Production Club in Nepal, using traditional techniques practiced for generations. Wonderfully light and warm, and a great conversation piece.

Colour shades and patterns may vary a little. Hand wash in cold water.
