Aadi Wonder Knits

We’ve been here at No. 12 Mahaliamman Koil Street for a while now. Most days it’s pretty busy around K. Chettipalayam, especially with the traffic coming off Dharapuram Road. At Aadi Wonder Knits, things usually get started early in the morning. You can hear the machines running from the street. It’s a bit noisy, but that’s just how it is when you’re working with knits all day long. The shop isn't fancy at all. We have piles of yarn in the corners and stuff stacked up wherever there’s a bit of open space. Sometimes the power goes out or a machine gets stuck, and we just have to fix it and keep going. It’s hot during the summer months here, so we keep the fans going as much as we can. People stop by and ask for things, and we try to get them sorted out. It isn't like those big offices you see in the city. We’re just a local spot on the street. Sometimes the delivery trucks have a hard time turning the corner because the road gets narrow. We just deal with it. Working here means you get to know the neighbors. We’ve seen the area change a bit over the years, but our building stays mostly the same. We handle the knitting work and try to stay on top of the orders that come in. It’s hard work and your hands get tired by the end of the shift. But we’re used to the routine at Aadi Wonder Knits.
