Curated Knitwear & Craft Supplies in Bern

Here you will find a collection of unique and one-of-a-kind items.

Since 2013, I strive to offer variety of products. From beautifully handcrafted jewelry, clothing and accessories, to carefully selected craft supplies.

I specialize in Knitting and Crochet Design. I write professional patterns for both crafts that appeal to all levels, from beginners to experts. See my work in my Design Portfolio.

Parallel to the instructions, I also masterfully create ready-to-wear garments and accessories using high quality materials and professional techniques. See the current items available for sale in the Handmade section.

I also offer a small selection of craft supplies that complement my pattern design work: yarn kits, stitch markers and specialty craft tools. See the current offering in the Supplies section.

You can learn more about the shop’s background and story in the About page.

Knitwear Design

I truly enjoy learning new textile-related techniques and applying them to create interesting new designs. I have over 10 years of design experience writing professional knitting and crochet patterns for both beginners and experts. With over 45 published designs there is plenty variety to choose from, and new designs are added over the course of the year.

My Mission

I am a strong proponent of making a good use of whatever materials and products already exist and always try to find a use for any item that crosses my path. Reusing and repurposing are very important parts of daily life. I believe that they have a strong positive environmental impact. Due to this attitude, I have developed over the years a kind of “creativity” in finding solutions to such “issues”.

If you are also interested in getting ideas on what to do with items you already own, subscribe to my mailing list. I will be posting there relevant blog posts along with product updates.

If you are interested in purchasing items that exist (ie. vintage clothing), or new ones made with high quality materials that will last decades (ie. handmade clothing), feel free to browse the shop!

Fun fact!

One of our vintage earrings was purchased by the Grace & Frankie Production in 2014. They are worn by Frankie in Season 1, Episode 6.
