About us

We knit, by hand, in Coimbatore

We started Kaleido Knits in a spare room with two needles and one plan: make knitwear the old way, and make it well.

Sixteen years on, we’re still small on purpose. Every piece still passes through the hands of someone who knows the craft. Nothing here comes off a machine.

What we stand for

Four things we won't compromise on

Made by hand

Every piece starts as loose yarn and ends up in someone’s hands, stitch by stitch. No machines touch our work.

Yarn we can trace

We know where our yarn comes from and who spun it. If we can’t trace it, we don’t buy it.

Fair work

Our knitters are paid fairly and on time, every single order. Good work deserves a good wage.

Made to order

We start knitting once you order, not before. It takes a little longer, but nothing sits unsold in a warehouse.

Our knitters

The hands behind the yarn

Most of our knitters are women from in and around Coimbatore. Many learned the craft from their mothers and grandmothers, long before we came along.

We give them steady, fairly paid work they can do from home, on their own schedule. In return, we get pieces made with real skill and real care.
