Knitting and fiber arts have always been a central part of the Russian way of life. So much so that the goddess of ancient Slavs, Mokosh, was, in fact, a spinner woman. As a result, to this day, many Russian rituals and festivals are associated with yarn, weaving, and spinning. Traditional folk dress exhibiting fine artisanal knitting is still created by hand worn for festivals.

In the case of Equal Hands, these techniques, and this openness to free form design have been uniquely translated to accessories.  We work with a number of independent women in Russia to bring you these exquisite creations - researching sustainable materials, modern hardware upgrades and ancestral techniques to create one of a kind pieces.
