Knit & Ting is a Nottingham-based knitwear brand founded by Taya Francis in 2019.
Inspired by her Jamaican heritage, the brand is the natural evolution of Taya’s graduate collection “Big Tings” – a project exploring her family history and existence as a third culture child.
Drawing cues from Dance Hall culture and 70’s Jamaica, the brand first started getting traction as a custom hand-painted Clarks project which then developed into a full-on knitwear line offering small batch collections focused on sustainability and long term wear. Knit & Ting focuses on creating limited pieces for people who care about slow production and the process behind the creation of a unique garment.
Deeply personal and introspective, the brand is the continuous manifestation of Taya’s research and survey of her roots, embracing both where she is from and where she lives.
