R.K.Knits

R.K.Knits is located right here in Gobichettipalayam, down on Kannaki Veethi. It’s a quiet area of Naikkankadu but the machines can be quite loud once they get going. We work with fabrics and knitting all day long. Erode is famous for this kind of stuff, so we fit right in. The building at 53 A isn't anything special, but it’s got enough space for our equipment and the yarn we keep in stock. We spend a lot of time checking the machines and making sure the threads don't tangle up. It’s dusty work, and you usually go home with bits of lint on your clothes. We don't have a big fancy showroom. If you want to see what we're making, you just come into the work area and look. It’s a family-run kind of feel, even if we aren't all related. We just focus on making things that people can actually use. Some days the humidity makes the machines act up, but we've learned how to fix them ourselves over the years. It’s a lot of physical labor, standing on your feet and moving boxes around. We don't spend much time in front of computers. We’d rather be handling the material and seeing how it feels. It’s a simple way to earn a living, and we’ve been doing it this way for quite some time now. It’s not about being the biggest, just about doing the job.
