With over 25 years of experience in the hand knitting industry and garment manufacturing, Dilhani saw a dearth of expertise in the field and the potential this industry has to offer. Even though, skilled based work such as hand knitting and crocheting is threatened now days, it is a deeply rooted craft in the Sri Lankan community as well as a great income stream for a home-based industry. With a c
lear mission to introduce expert hand knitters, Knitro was founded in 2011. The mission was no easy task. Knitro had the enormous task of making amateur young females ready-to do export quality knit wear and accessories. Almost 10 years now, there are many regional knitting centers across Sri Lanka with over hundred hand knitters steadily contributing to dress our international customers beautifully and elegantly. Our regional centers are located in Colombo, Kandy, Galle and Jaffna. Knitro is built on social responsibility as the primary focus. During post war era Knitro contributed directly to create a group of hand knitters in Jaffna enabling them to have a steady livelihood. To date we have trained over 50 young females in the war-torn Jaffna, the northern part of Sri Lanka. Knitro is particularly proud of this task since Dilhani and the team faced many challenges in accomplishing this starting from the communication. Language was a main barrier. With our decade long experience Knitro has earned the value and credibility through the hard work, effort and strong commitment towards quality production for each and every one of our clients in the local and international markets alike.
