The Dutch goat wool sock Sjors
We are incredibly surprised by the number of socks ordered through the big Volkskrant gift special. The machines were running at full speed, even on weekends, and the volunteers have been working hard to finish the socks. Thank you for all your orders and for your sometimes much-needed patience ;)
We are now happily completely caught up and have even made some extra!

Mohair throw Aukje with a small gift
Our Aukje is a wonderfully warm, soft, and luxurious throw made from mohair wool from adult Angora goats. Our finest wool from goat kids is used for our sweaters and cardigans. With the wool from our older goats, we make this beautiful woven throw, together with French Angora goat farmers.
If you order this week, we can send it right away, and as a gift, you'll receive a pair of sleep socks this week!

Pillows with Kempisch Heath Sheep filling
Sleep sustainably, fairly, and locally with The Knitwit Stable pillows.
Our pillows are filled with soft wool from the Kempisch Heath Sheep, which grazes on protected heathlands in the Netherlands. This contributes to a fertile landscape and healthy nature. With attention to craft, people, and the environment, we work towards a better world and a healthy night's sleep. The pillows can be purchased with a refill bag, so you always lie comfortably.
Lamb update
Our autumn lambs are doing well. These merino lambs are slowly growing a fleece to cope with the upcoming cold winter days. They are well cared for by Cees and, when the weather is nice, they frolic happily with their mother.
