With over 30 years of experience in production and export, KTS prides itself on its commitment to superior craftsmanship using natural materials. More than just a producer, KTS is a non-profit, non-government certified Fair Trade organization dedicated to uplifting underprivileged and low-income families in Nepal through education and vocational training. KTS’s social initiatives are sustained by its income-generating production units, which provide employment opportunities for over 2000 home-based women artisans. This approach creates a cycle of empowerment by fostering skills, employment, and positive community impact. The organization’s dedication to ethical practices and community growth sets it apart, reflecting its mission to combine economic success with social responsibility. Our specialization lies in creating hand-knitted apparel, home textiles, and rugs using natural fibers like sheep wool, cotton, Allo (nettle fiber), hand-spun banana, and hand-spun silk yarns. Our product range is extensive, encompassing hand-knotted carpets/rugs, hand-knitted cushion covers, throws, blankets, poufs, sweaters, scarves, hats, gloves, and more. Currently, our products are being exported to 12 different countries worldwide.
