Every kid has a certain memory where their grandmother must have given them something special which was knit by themselves.  Knitting was actually introduced in India by the British. Knitting was also called ‘jorab-bunnana’ as in the 1900s, girls would knit socks also called ‘jorab’.

Hear how Kanchan Vaidya, founder of The Original Knit was introduced to knitting. See her story here.

Kanchan started to tie up with women from her hometown and the northern parts of India. Starting off with a handful, she has now gathered more than 350+ women who make handmade baby clothing. The Original Knit also introduced a new collection of toys and cushions in soft wool with different colours, patterns, and designs.
