Welcome to my Knit World
I am Yakshi Malhotra, a knitwear consultant, educator, designer and some also call me a magician. I don’t go by just one title as I specialize in all things knit related but if I were to pick, I would probably go with a Knit Magician.
How we started
With 10 years of experience in the knitwear industry behind me, trying to find a place that I could do everything I love, be appreciated for my skills and continue to fuel my passion; all alongside having a good work-life balance and taking care of my mental well-being; was difficult.
Working with big fashion houses such as McQ by Alexander McQueen and DKNY made me realise how much I enjoy the technical aspects of garments. Overlooking sampling at a manufacturer helped me understand what is required when requesting samples, helping me see the exact process of garments and also how much wastage there is in the fashion industry. Freelancing for swatch studios helped me dive deeper into the creative aspect of knit. Finally, working in Education has helped me understand how to bridge the gap between the industry and future designers.
I really love it all and there was no place I could be in that I could really do it all ..until today.
A KNIT SPACE FOR EVERYONE.
The business is designed to help and advise absolutely everyone who has anything to do with knit. You may be a new business or a brand introducing knitwear to their collection; a student looking to learn a little bit more about knit, a brand that is looking to offer its customers specialist knit repair service or someone who owns a precious garment that needs saving. I am here to use all my expertise and knowledge to help and advise you.
So whatever it is you are here for, drop me a message and let’s see how we can work together.
