Spencer Zus

The Zus is an intricately knitted vest with chevron and cable designs, made from local Dutch wool blended with soft alpaca and merino. This blend of fibres gives the Zus vest a unique mix of properties: the Dutch wool has a tougher look which is then softened by the addition of alpaca and merino. This vest has a V-neck and is ideal for layering.

 

Green Product Award

We are proud to announce that our unique carpet, made from Dutch wool and dyed with seaweed, has been selected for the Green Product Award 2025!

The carpet is the result of a collaboration between Zeefier and The Knitwit Stable,

inspired by the Dutch west coast, the carpet reflects our love for natural materials and sustainable craftsmanship.


Now we need your help! Voting is open until January 30, and your vote can help us win the title of Audience Favourite. Voting is quick and easy, no registration required.


Our collaboration represents more than just products; it's a vision of innovation, sustainability, and the use of local resources.


The industrial carpet "Dutch Wool and Seaweed" is machine tufted by Best Wool, while the handmade version, based on a design by Nienke Hoogvliet, is made at the social workshop Millenerpoort. These collaborations show that locally produced, socially responsible products can be scalable, fully traceable, and commercially viable.


Thank you for your support, every vote counts!

Our items are made-to-order and custom-made. You can always visit us to try them on during office hours by appointment!

Our fitting appointments are ideal for seeing, feeling, and trying on your cardigan, sweater, or accessory. Additionally, there is an opportunity to take a look at our farm, meet the animals, and see the mini-factory in action. During the fitting, you can order your favorite item and customize it to your wishes. Your sweater or cardigan will truly be custom-made. After approximately 2-4 weeks, your ordered cardigan or sweater will be ready. Accessories can often be taken home immediately.
