Hello Everyone,

We are Knitting Huts!

We are a For Profit Social Enterprise working with rural women of Himachal Pradesh to develop premium hand-knitted products for humans and their homes.

We take orders for our international clients as well to produce under their labels using yarns like Pure Cotton, Organic Cotton, Pure Silk, Cashmere, Yak, Angora, Mohair, Merino and Sheep Wools.

Our products are listed on etsy.com at the moment and our website is under the works.

We are a fairly new organization in social enterprise arena and have had great experiences in the short span of time working with talented rural populations of the region. We truly believe that the art of hand-knitting is still under utilized when it comes to upliftment of handicrafts industry as a whole. We see a lot of weaving work, bamboo work, wood carving, embroidery and block printing but hand-knitting, for some reason, lags far behind.

We are working towards streamlining the hand-knitting industry and making premium hand-knits cool again!

Hello Friends!

Greetings to you all from Eindhoven , Netherlands!

Thanks to Women on Wings Team for giving reCharkha EcoSocial an opportunity to be part of this noble community!

I am Ashwini, Business Development Manager, from reCharkha -The EcoSocial Tribe - an India based social enterprise working to conserve the Environment and Enable Tribal and Rural livelihoods. I live in Eindhoven, Netherlands and support reCharkha EcoSocial activities in India remotely as well as take care of Exhibitions in the Netherlands and online orders within all over Europe.

Here is a brief about our EcoSocial work:
We UPCYCLE waste plastic such a polybags/plastic bags, biscuit or wafer wrappers and other multilayered packaging, using a traditional CHARKHA (Spindle) and HANDLOOM to weave it into a fabric. This unique process is designed to provide LIVELIHOOD opportunities to our TRIBAL WOMEN and YOUTH.
We have our process explained in following videos:
(in Dutch Language)
(In English Language)

This UPCYCLED-HANDWOVEN fabric is then used to make handcrafted utility items such as bags and fashion accessories, home decor and office stationary products. Some of these products are presented in our online shop: https://www.recharkha.org/collections/all.
We retail these products at our office in Pune(India) and directly sell through exhibitions in India and Netherlands. Apart from these products, we customize products for BULK corporate orders for our customers.

More later...
regards,
Ashwini
