Prathishta Weaving & Knitting Company Ltd.

We spend most of our time here at 2/244 on Idikarai Road just trying to keep the machines running right. Sengalipalayam is a busy enough spot and our little corner with the weaving and knitting stuff stays pretty noisy throughout the day. You can hear the rhythmic clicking of the needles from the street sometimes. It is not some fancy high-tech facility, just a regular workplace where we deal with heaps of yarn and finished fabric. Most mornings start with checking the thread tension and making sure none of the older machines are acting up. It gets a bit hot in the afternoons, but that is just how it is around here. We have stacks of knitted goods sitting in the corners waiting to go out. The floor is usually covered in a bit of lint and stray threads despite how often we try to sweep it up. People stop by sometimes just to ask directions because the road can be confusing. We are just local folks doing this work for years. There is no big secret to what we do at Prathishta Weaving & Knitting Company Ltd. It is just steady work, day in and day out. Sometimes the orders pile up and we stay late, other times it is quiet enough to actually have a long lunch. We just focus on getting the fabric done and moving it along to wherever it needs to go next. It is simple work but it keeps us busy.
