Kewl Tubes, LLC

OVERVIEW

We design and manufacture knit golf club head covers for golfers around the world. OUR MISSION: to become the LARGEST manufacturer of quality knit pom pom golf club covers. Diane Gracely, of Reading, Pennsylvania is the founder of Kewl Tubes, LLC. Founded in February 2006. Diane has a hereditary neuropathy called Charcot-Marie-Tooth. CMT for short. Diane became disabled because the neuropathy deformed her feet and she had to have both of her feet reconstructed and learn to walk again. The problems she has because of her disability inspired her to work from home at her own pace. Diane was also inspired to start the golf business because of the lack of knit golf club covers on the market. She knew she needed a unique niche product to sell. When Diane started manufacturing golf club covers, she was handknitting them. Now she uses hand-cranked antique sock knitting machines that her husband modified to handle the heavier yarn that Diane uses to make the club covers. Her mother-in-law and her husband also help to manufacture the club covers. Diane owns quite a few antique sock knitting machines and continues to purchase more antique sock knitting machines as she finds them on Ebay or at local auctions. She hopes the business will continue to grow and she will hire other women who have disabilities to work from home.
