A Teen's Mission — Help Grandma Thrive

When Nani (grandma) moved from India and felt lonely, I found a way to help: turn her lifelong passion for knitting into a small business that keeps her joyful, busy, and connected to the community.

Our Story

From India to Your Doorstep

My name is Aarav (I'm a junior in high school), and this is Nani's story as much as it's mine. When she came to live with us from India, the transition was hard. New country, new language, far from friends.

Knitting was always her therapy. I thought — what if her hobby could become her purpose here? What if the same hands that kept our family warm could warm our whole community?

"When I knit, I feel at home anywhere in the world. Each sweater is a little piece of my heart."

So Loop & Wear was born — a teen entrepreneur project powered by Nani's skilled hands and my belief that community + craft = something beautiful.

Hi, I'm the
Kid Behind This

I'm a high school junior who started Loop & Wear for one simple reason: I love my grandma and I wanted her to feel needed, joyful, and less alone after moving to the US.

This is my first real business. I handle the website, customer orders, and marketing — Nani handles the magic. Together, we're building something that matters to our family and (hopefully) to yours too.

Every purchase directly supports Nani's livelihood and wellbeing. Thank you for being part of this story. 🙏

FAQ

Questions? We've got answers.

How long does a custom order take?

Typically 2–4 weeks depending on the complexity and Nani's current queue. Simple scarves or mittens can be done in 1–2 weeks. We'll give you an estimate when you place your order.

What yarn do you use?

Nani uses high-quality wool and acrylic blends — warm, durable, and soft. For kids or those with sensitivities, we have hypoallergenic yarn options. Just let us know!

Do you ship outside California?

Yes! We ship anywhere in the US. Local Bay Area customers can also arrange pickup to save on shipping. International shipping is available — contact us for rates.

How do I pay?

We're setting up Stripe for secure online payments soon. In the meantime, we accept Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal. We'll send you payment details when we confirm your order.

Can I return or exchange?

Because each piece is handmade to order, we can't offer refunds — but if something isn't right, we'll fix it. Customer satisfaction means everything to us.

Can I give this as a gift?

Absolutely — it's one of the most heartfelt gifts you can give. We include a handwritten note from Nani with every order and can gift-wrap upon request.
