Knots to Node

Knots to Node is a mother–daughter led practice by working with the lace-making technique of tatting. The brand began after 2021, when the founder rediscovered her mother’s tatting work, a skill she has practiced since the age of 13. What started as a shared moment at home grew into a focused effort to continue and present this craft today. Knots to Node currently works between Lucknow and Bangalore. Their work is created entirely by hand using thread and a tatting shuttle. Each piece takes between 3 to 7 hours, depending on complexity, with every knot formed individually. The mother, Archana, brings decades of technical knowledge, while the daughter, Stuti, shapes contemporary designs and applications. Together, they focus on precision, consistent tension, and respect for the process. Their practice centres on sustaining the craft through careful making, honest timelines, and objects that reflect time, labour, and continuity.
