The success of the "Integra Programme" also led to the development of the stand alone enterprise, "Shuttle -Knit Limited" involving Settled people and Travellers as partners. The new business was launched in the County Buildings, Wicklow in April 2000.

Since 2001 Shuttle-Knit has been housed in the Wicklow Traveller Group building at the top of Crinion Park in Wicklow Town. There are four people employed full-time in the enterprise and with the assistance of their manager and ongoing support, both financial and training from the FAS "Social Economy" Programme it is taking on contract work from some of Ireland's top designers.

Shuttle-Knit produces and markets a line of woven accessories including rugs, throws, scarves and tablemats in the weaving department. It also produces capes and jumpers for women  in the knitwear section.

Since 2006 The Project has moved into the digitised embroidery business, which is proving quite uccessful. We are open for customers from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday.
