After many frustrating projects, I became hooked on knitting in my early 20s, when I was introduced to a course on designing knitting patterns. I’ve been passionate about knitting ever since. Freelance knitting contracts led me to a degree in clothing and textiles, providing me knowledge about fibers, yarns, and the variety of textile fabrications.
Recently, I became excited at the popularity of knitting, particularly amongst the young, who socialize through knitting groups and websites. I thought there was no better time to start a yarn retail business.
My aim for Urban Knitters is to pass on my passion for knitting, and a sense of accomplishment in pursuing a traditional craft. At the same time, the need for individualism in clothing choices can be achieved by adding a “unique” knitted piece to your “fashion” wardrobe.
Urban Knitters provides all the necessary tools to feel that sense of accomplishment through our luxurious natural fiber yarns, accessories, service and knowledge, inspiring environment, and a fashion forward approach to a craft that is centuries old.
