An incredible Christmas tree was designed and manufactured by a group of creative women in India’s state of Goa. They were inspired by the belief that the world didn’t need another plastic Christmas tree. Made entirely of crocheted yarn, the community tree was designed to help revive a fading craft. It features the women’s labor and offers a sustainable alternative to plastic-heavy festive décor. Located inside the Museum of Goa, the tree features more than a thousand individually crocheted squares made by 25 talented women of the Crochet Collective, an inter-generational, inter-continental collaboration that wields this introduced form of craft to help knit a community together.
