Legacy in Every Loop

The Confidence of Contemporary Fashion

Thirty Years of Hand Knitting & Exports
A Living Legacy

Every history has a beginning small enough to be missed. Thirty years ago, Handknit India began life as IDI Exporters, a business built to support women who had left their homes in Kashmir due to militancy. Within two years, we grew from a handful of knitters into a network of 2,000 women across 30 knitting units in North India.

For three decades, we have manufactured and exported hand-knitted garments for international brands, designers and yarn companies.

Our technical mastery in Aran knitting, Fair Isle and crochet brings intricate craftsmanship to contemporary fashion.

A level of technical mastery few hand-knitting collectives anywhere in world can match.

It doesn't feel bought so much as inherited.
-Rishab Pandey
My daughter has slept with that elephant every night for two years.
-Sehlja
I knitted this for my sister, and the way she reacted made every hour worth it. You can buy an expensive gift, but something made by your own hands feels priceless
-Ritu
Every time I wear it, someone asks me where I got it from. Hand-knitted doesn’t feel old-fashioned anymore. it feels incredibly cool and individual.
-Aman Kumar
I love wearing something I know isn’t sitting in hundreds of wardrobes. It feels personal, stylish and completely my own.
-Avika sharma
Knowing that someone actually sat and created this stitch by stitch changes the way you value what you wear.
-Tina
I started knitting just to try something new. Somewhere between the stitches, my mind became completely quiet. I hadn’t felt that kind of calm in a long time.
-Mayank
I’ve been wearing my Aran knit for 10 years. Every winter it still looks new—and people still ask me where I got it from.
