Babini Kouki (Granny's Knitting Needles)
Babini Kouki is a unique line of handmade fashionable and stylish knit clothing. With its chief designer Galina Dacheva, Babini Kouki is one of the few fashion companies to successfully bridge the missing link between the age-old craft of hand knitting and high fashion.
The knitters use only knitting needles and crochet hooks, and their most important tool is the traditional skill. For a single sweater to be made, over 50 000 stitches must be knitted.
In the fall of 2005, Dacheva presented her Timeless Fashion collection at the New York Couture Fashion Week.
Her designs are currently available at selected fine retailers in Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Sweden and Canada, as well as in Arizona, Indiana and New York in the United States.
