The fashion industry is undergoing a shift—one that celebrates craftsmanship, sustainability, and personal connection over fast production. More people are turning toward slow fashion, valuing garments that tell a story, last longer, and create less waste. Knitting, once seen as a nostalgic craft, is now part of this modern movement—blending tradition with contemporary style. It is within this evolving space that Sisters That Knit was born. What started as a personal journey of healing for Jenny, who turned to knitting after a back injury ended her nursing career, became something more. Every stitch became therapy, and soon she shared this newfound love with her sister. Together, they now create knitwear that carries the same comfort and solace they experienced, transforming it into fashion with purpose.
Fashion with Heart: Zero Waste, Circulation, and Local Craft
Sisters That Knit is not just about clothing—it’s about conscious choices. By making each piece to order, they ensure zero waste and avoid the pitfalls of mass production. Their unique resale option allows customers to re-home knitwear, giving garments new life and extending their story. Rooted in community, the sisters also source organic New Zealand wool whenever possible, supporting local industries and weaving authenticity into every creation.
Personalised Style, Timeless Craft
What makes their work even more special is the element of customisation. Each garment is hand-knitted and made to order, tailored to the customer’s preferences—from colours to sizes and even design ideas. This personal touch ensures that every sweater isn’t just clothing, but a piece of wearable comfort, infused with the love and care of two sisters who found purpose in every loop and stitch. Through this, Sisters That Knit proves that fashion can be both stylish and deeply meaningful.
