About
Hello, we’re the Shamsi sisters
Our mother taught us both to knit before we could read properly, and our father's tailor taught us to cut. Nazneen studied textile design and Sabeen worked in a Lahore atelier before we put our two tables together under the high window of the family workroom.
Most of what we make is for winter: cardigans, waistcoats, shawls and one good jacket. We write out every pattern the way we would explain it across the table, so a careful beginner can follow it.
