The Knotty Ones is a sustainable clothing brand rooted in Lithuanian knitting traditions that produces knitwear in collaboration with independently employed female artisans in rural Lithuania. The company works with ethical suppliers and family-run wool farms, uses natural, high-quality, animal cruelty-free yarns, and keeps most production local. Since its founding in 2014, the brand has grown international distribution through partners such as Anthropologie, Goop, Revolve, and Free People, and its products have been worn by international celebrities and influencers. Roughly 90% of its garments are sold to foreign markets including the USA, UK, Australia, and Germany. The Knotty Ones emphasizes social responsibility by providing flexible jobs for rural female artisans, enabling them to balance work and motherhood while supporting their families. The company plans to expand further into international markets, particularly the United States, focusing on wholesale and e-commerce. Since its first investment round in 2020 the knitwear brand has grown five-fold while maintaining its mission of sustainability and empowerment.
