Kotahi Knits

i) descendants. There are many millions more sheep than people in New Zealand, and sheep and wool products have been central to my country's heritage and economy. My grandfather was a wool buyer and my mother, seemingly always with knitting on her lap when I grew up, taught me to knit when I was seven. I have been knitting ever since; I find it a perfect outlet for my artistic and creative expression and a calming, meditative practice. It is important to me to knit with all-wool yarns because they are a natural and renewable resource. Moreover, wool offers special qualities of warmth, breathability and wicking away of moisture. Most of my hats and mittens are made with superior Merino wool as it is finer and softer than regular wool, making it more comfortable next to your skin. I believe these are qualities which make for a superior garment that will keep you cozy whether you are exploring outside, hanging with friends, or doing the shopping. Because I care about you and the environment, my hand-knit wool crafts are made in a smoke-free home and shipped to you in a non-toxic, reusable and compostable resin package. I also include a free cotton sachet of organic Capay Valley Lavender with each purchase. Lavender naturally repels moths and if stored inside will make your garments smell lovely when worn. Thank you for your interest in Kotahi Knits. and for supporting my small business. It means a lot as I lost my regular job in the Covid pandemic and the income helps support me and my family.
