WHO WE ARE
COMMUNITY
Emilime is a hand-knit accessories company,
We collaborate with groups of knitters, led primarily
committed to ethical production and sustainable sourcing. Our pieces feature an exploration in texture and stitches, using primarily alpaca wool.

We also partner with organizations to provide additional resources to our network, such as trainings and health screenings.

our inspiration for upcoming collections. For the competition, we encourage experimentation with new materials and techniques based on the presented trends and then the knitters turn in their swatches. The winning participants receive tools for their workshops and many of our designs are born from this competition.
is super silky and soft, resistant, warm, and has little to no pilling. The yarn is also hypoallergenic because it doesn’t contain lanolin, present in wool.

Frontier
Frontier is inspired by a new type of pioneer that desires to live on the edge of society and the edge of nature with their feet in both worlds: the civilized and the wild. The yarns and stitches are comforting and nostalgic, but have modern details that bring the pieces forward.
