Knitting Circle

From A Wheel of Time Wiki

The Knitting Circle is the group of thirteen (a recurring number for groups of power women who lead The Kin. Unlike Aes Sedai whose influence is dictated mainly by strength in Saidar, The Kin choose their Knitting Circle based solely on age, the thirteen oldest Kinswomen in Ebou Dar comprise the Circle led by the Eldest. In order to remain secret and hidden from Aes Sedai eyes and ears, the Knitting Circle nears fanaticism in enforcing their rules and maintaining the Kin's rotation through and participation in Ebou Dari society. The women of The Kin lead very long lives as do Aes Sedai, and in many cases even longer than Aes Sedai, making the thirteen of the Knitting Circle some of the oldest women alive. It has been theorized that the Aes Sedai tradition of swearing on the Oath Rod may be the differentiating factor between the life span of the women of the Kin and that of the women of the White Tower.
