Standard Knitwear

Our workshop is at 39 A Ekbalpur Road. It’s a busy street, and the building we are in has seen better days, but it’s home to us. We do knitwear, which means we deal with a lot of yarn. You can find little bits of wool on everything we own. The knitting machines are quite large and they make a lot of noise when they are running at full speed. It’s a mechanical sound that you can feel in the floor. Ekbalpur is a lively area, and there is always something happening right outside our door. We don't have a fancy showroom, just the machines and the boxes of finished goods waiting to be picked up. We drink a lot of tea throughout the day to stay sharp. The work can be repetitive, watching the needles go back and forth, but you have to pay attention or the whole piece is ruined. Sometimes the yarn gets tangled and it takes us an hour just to get the machine going again. We’ve been here for years, and we’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit. But inside these walls, things stay mostly the same. We have our routines and we stick to them. It’s a simple way to make a living, and it suits us just fine. We don't talk much while the machines are on, we just do the work and wait for the lunch break to catch up on things. That’s just life on Ekbalpur Road for you.
