The Knitting Man Recommends is an indie dye label by Karin Mainwaring, based in Castlemaine, Victoria. Karin works across a broad colour palette. Her style is vibrant and saturated. Karin works to avoid pooling. She aims for her yarn to create a colour-drenched beaded effect.

The creation of colour is powerfully linked to personal history and emotion for Karin, who has a particular love for mohair.
