Listen "EP 205 Bridging the World of Sustainable Fashion and Craft Through Knitting"
Episode Synopsis
Did you know knitting sparks creativity and provides mindful rhythmic motions resulting in a more positive state of wellbeing?Our guest, Kristen Lambert, is the creative visionary behind the knitwear brand Third Piece.Third Piece started as a passion project for Kristen after being drawn to the uniqueness of a hand knit scarf with which she immediately responded, “I need that!” What started as a side hustle soon transitioned to something more when the buyers of Henri Bendel and Bergdorf Goodman along with dozens of boutiques came calling to carry Third Piece. For the next few years, Kristen learned the ins-and-outs of textiles, fibers, and manufacturing, pop-ups and eventually opened up a brick-and-mortar retail location.While recruiting the talent to craft each handmade piece, Kristen connected with the most inspiring women that wanted to knit Third Piece designs and work with the brand. Each woman had a unique experience of what knitting meant to her. Inspired by these passionate stories, Kristen expanded Third Piece into DIY Knit Kits and began teaching thousands of people how to knit.To learn more about Third Piece please visit: https://thirdpiece.com/Please follow and engage with Kristen and Third Piece via the following social channels:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thirdpiece_/ and https://www.instagram.com/kristenmlambert/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kristenmlambert and https://www.tiktok.com/@thirdpieceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristenmlambert/ and https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-third-piece/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheThirdPiece/Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheThirdPieceThank you for carving out time to improve your Founder Game - when you do better, your business will do better - cheers!Ande ♥https://andelyons.com#bestyoutubechannelforstartups #knitwear #sustainablefashion https://twitter.com/AndeLyonshttps://www.facebook.com/StartupLifewithAndehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/andelyons/ https://www.instagram.com/ande_lyons/ https://www.pinterest.com/andelyons/ TikTok: @andelyonsANDELICIOUS ANNOUNCEMENTSBlack Girl Ventures Pitch Program – Apply to pitch at https://bit.ly/bgvpitch by July 1stArlan’s Academy: https://arlansacademy.com/Visible Hands Latinx Founders Fellowship: https://vhlx.visiblehands.vc/Scroobious here: https://www.scroobious.com/ANDELICIOUS RESOURCES:JOIN STARTUP LIFE LIVE MEETUP GROUPGet an alert whenever I post a new show!https://bit.ly/StartupLifeLIVE
