The label of The Knitwit Stable
With our own label, we create sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and accessories from wool, using our own animals as the foundation. Through our label, we put our money where our mouth is: we not only provide insight into how to create a transparent, sustainable product with wool, but we also demonstrate it. In addition to our own wool, we also collect sheep, alpaca, and mohair wool from fellow breeders and Dutch sheep farmers whom we visit personally. With this sustainably produced wool, we create a stylish, local, sustainable, and transparent end product with a fair price. In doing so, we restore wool to the value it deserves: a natural luxury product produced with respect for people, animals, and the environment.
Our collection
At The Knitwit Stable, we work with local wool and deliberately produce in small batches. This means that not every item is always available. We don't keep large inventories and only produce when a new series is planned. In our webshop, you will therefore find two types of products:
In stock
These items are available for immediate delivery.
Continuous model
These are fixed designs from our collection. If a size or color is temporarily unavailable, it will be produced again in a subsequent series.
We are currently working hard on a new collection that will be presented this autumn!
Our promise
Dutch wool
Where there are sheep, there is wool. And in a world where resources are slowly running out, and our mindset is shifting from ownership to use, wool is a renewable sustainable material with unique properties.
Materials
Wool is a wonderfully beautiful and versatile material, which makes it very valuable. It naturally possesses fantastic properties that distinguish it from synthetic materials. It is self-cleaning, fire-resistant, moisture-regulating, and 100% biodegradable.
Circularity
The textile and fashion sector can and must contribute to the restoration of ecosystems and our health. It is important that we drastically reduce the enormous amount of polluting, harmful textiles and clothing.

Knitting, together with weaving, is the most important technique for making textiles from wool. In our knitting studio in Baambrugge there are 17 knitting machines for various uses that we rent out to students and professionals. When using this machine you also directly hire the knowledge of one of our employees. We also rent out our national knitting studio as a workplace to educational institutions, students and designers.

Did you know that your wool clothing can last up to 80 years when properly cared for? That's why it deserves all the attention and love, and we'd be happy to help you maintain your clothing. It requires different care than, for example, your cotton clothing.

With our own brand, we make sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and hats for which we use our own animal wool. The brand is our way of putting our money where our mouth is: we don't just claim that sustainable Dutch wool production is viable, we demonstrate it. In addition to our own wool, we use sheep, alpaca, and mohair wool from like-minded Dutch breeders and farmers. The combined materials are processed into stylish, sustainable, and fair end products.
