Knitting without Borders
For people + the planet
For people + the planet
Our company was built in the height of the Covid 19 Pandemic. Being a start up at a time like that enabled us to see exactly how connected we are with our fellow human beings across the world. Technology in part has helped bring us all closer together and therefore we can access even the most remote of areas via a zoom link and a video phone.
We fully recognise that our worlds citizenry are closer to us than we think in many ways and we want to be able help and touch as many people as we can across the world.
“We at Knitmed have been pioneering how we can explore the idea of ‘knitting without borders’ and how we can help our fellow human beings across the world.”
We’re threading communities together
We’re threading communities together
With this front of mind, we have chosen (in conjunction with the Knitmed Foundation) to donate our very first knitting machines to a very small remote village in the north west mountain region of Pakistan. We want to support this mountain community which live in a region that has extreme temperatures and would benefit from some ‘warm woolies’ during their exceptionally cold winter season. The temperatures can drop as low as -20 to -30C.
We will be organising fortnightly machine knitting classes online for the community in their knitting centre and we will translate the classes into their local languages and email the notes out to them every week. We will be teaching them how to knit simple but warm and practical sweaters, scarves, gloves and masks for their communities which will keep them safe and warm during the winter season.
