About us

Laurelknits was born out of love for hand knitting, especially knitting socks and the search for new, curious color combinations. Over time, it has grown into a small business and today we offer a wide range of carefully selected yarn bases that we hand dye in our studio in Helsinki as well as knitting patterns for all things cozy. Combining different colors into harmonious palettes in both yarn collections and knitting projects has always been the goal, and the inspiration.

Yarn studio

Our little yarn and dye studio is situated in Haaga, Helsinki, in a beautiful, old wooden house. The studio serves as a showroom, little yarn shop and a place to sit down and knit for a bit. In the cozy lounge area, you can knit, drink coffee, browse through knitting books and magazines and get inspired by the yarn. The studio is open a few times a month and you are very welcome to stop by to knit, chat and treat yourself with some squishy new yarn!
