Friends Knitwears

You can find our small setup at No. 4126, Gali No. 4 in New Madhopuri. This area is full of narrow lanes and the sound of machines running. We do knitwear, which means we are usually surrounded by yarn and half-finished sweaters. The space is tight because we have to fit the knitting machines and the packing tables all in one area. It gets quite warm in the summer, but in the winter, it’s the best place to be. We are a small team, mostly family and a few neighbors who have been working with us for years. We don't have a fancy showroom. Most of our work is done on the tables where we check for loose threads and fold the items. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we have to wait a bit, but that’s just part of living in this neighborhood. Gali Number 4 is a bit tucked away, so you have to look closely for the door. We spend our days making sure the stitches are tight and the colors match the samples. It’s repetitive work, but we take pride in doing it right. There’s always a bit of lint in the air, so we’re constantly sweeping. We aren't trying to be a big factory; we just want to make good knitwear that people feel comfortable wearing. It's a modest living and we enjoy the rhythm of the machines every single day.
