KnitWarm WarmerShoulder won the Honorary Gold Award

"We had a total of 6 entries, and the 'WarmerShoulder' won the gold medal in the 'Wellness & Personal Care' category, while the other 'WarmerBand' won the Merit Award." Founder and creative director of KnitWarm, Stanley, was surprised that the WarmerShoulder won the gold medal. They originally thought that the WarmerBand had a better chance of winning. Stephen, Technical Director, added that the product was born in response to the request of Physiotherapists, who said that the shoulder is the most difficult part to apply heat therapy, so it took more than a year to develop. It is composed of a three-dimensional seamless and slim solution combined with their own patented Heat Conductive Smart Textile, which can cover the shoulders in all directions, relieve shoulder discomfort with self-set gentleness, improve blood circulation, and eliminate fatigue and muscle tension. It weighs only 88 grams and does not hinder the user's daily activity.

The brand, 'KnitWarm' is based on the patented heat conductive smart textile that is invented, designed and crafted in Hong Kong. As long as it is connected to a 5V2A power bank, it will warm up in 30 seconds. The principle is to use 3D knitting technology to knit the silver-coated conductive yarn into the fabric together with other sustainable materials to form a soft and flexible textile circuit. It generates heat by resistance.

The four-day exhibition will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center. The awards ceremony will be held at the Hong Kong Palace Museum on May 23 to commend the winners.
