Akshaya Knitz

You can find us over at No. 7 M. S. Puram. It’s a small spot, but we make it work. Most of the time it’s just the sound of the machines running and us trying to keep the place organized. We’ve been around this part of town for a good bit of time. If you walk past, you’ll probably see us unloading some yarn or packing up a few boxes to go out. We aren't a big corporation with fancy offices or anything like that. It is just a workspace where we get things done. Some days are more chaotic than others, especially when a big order comes in and we have to move quickly. We try to keep things straightforward. If someone needs something knitted or a specific batch of fabric, we just see if we can do it and give them a straight answer. No fluff. The neighbors are mostly used to the trucks coming in and out by now. We like being in M. S. Puram because it’s close to everything we need. It’s a busy life, honestly. There’s always a pile of something that needs sorting or a machine that needs a bit of grease. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit outside on the steps and wait for it to come back. We don't have any big promises to make. We just try to get the knitting right. The room is always filled with the smell of new fabric and a bit of machine oil. It’s a real workshop where people get their hands dirty.
