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 knitters specialise 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.

Today, that same craftsmanship goes into every piece we make for you, from Aran sweaters and crochet tops to baby knits, toys and DIY kits.

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.
