I have recently taken up knitting and was fascinated to discover knitwear label Dasmarca. Dasmarca was set up in 2003 by knitwear designer Bidyut Das. Bidyut grew up in the remote hilly province of Tripura (northern India), where he was surrounded by a community of weavers and knitters. After studying at Central Saint Martin’s College and the Royal College of Art he began developing his signature ‘chunky sculptural knitting’.

Bidyut has spent the last few years experimenting with different styles and techniques, including the use of knitting needles the size of broomsticks and wool as thick as rope!

All Dasmarca designs are knitted and finished by hand and are created from unspun Merino wool. To view the Dasmarca collections, visit www.dasmarca.co.uk.
