In Horst since 1984

Wool, needles, and the patience to make something of it.

The shop where people have walked in with an idea and walked out with a project for forty years. Knitting, crochet and embroidery supplies, plus the kind of advice you don't get anywhere else.

What we do

A specialist shop, not a webshop.

Yarn is best chosen with your fingers. The advice you need comes across a counter, not in a chat window. So we stay what we are: a shop where you walk in with a question and walk out with a plan.

Quality first

Natural yarns from European houses we've known for years. No clearance bins, just honest pricing.

Time for advice

Whether it's your first row of stitches or your sixth attempt at a cable jumper, you get our full attention.

Room to share

Saturday knit cafe, Thursday drop-in. People helping each other, knitting, crocheting and chatting.

Collection

Everything the hands need.

Six corners of the shop that keep coming back. A starting list. For the full range, drop by or give us a call.

Wool and yarn

Wool and yarn

Merino, alpaca, mohair, cotton, boucle and blends. From classic knitting weights to new seasonal collections by Lang Yarns, Katia, Rowan and Borgo di Pazzi.

Knitting and crochet needles

Knitting and crochet needles

Straight needles, circular needles, cable and sock needles, crochet hooks in wood, bamboo and metal. Sizes 2 to 15 mm.

Embroidery and cross-stitch

Embroidery and cross-stitch

DMC embroidery thread in hundreds of colours, Aida fabrics, patterns, hoops and everything you need to start today.

Haberdashery and buttons

Haberdashery and buttons

Buttons sold individually, zips cut to length, ribbons, braids, sewing thread. For the finishing touches that make the difference.

Books and patterns

A broad selection of knitting and crochet books, magazines, patterns for sweaters, cardigans, socks, blankets and toys.

Gift ideas

Starter kits for those getting going, project bundles for a concrete plan, and gift vouchers for anyone who'd rather pick themselves.

Brei-cafe op zaterdag in 't Schippertje

Every Saturday

Knit cafe, 13:00 to 16:00.

An open table for everyone who likes to knit or crochet in good company. Bring your own project, take a seat, drink coffee and ask anything. Free, no booking needed.

How it works

Stuck on a project? Thursday drop-in.

When a pattern won't behave or your stitch count slips, we unpick it together and put it back on the needles. Beginners and seasoned knitters equally welcome.

Customers

What people find here.

Liep binnen met een vastgelopen kabelpatroon en kwam buiten met een werkend project en nieuwe ideeen.
Tineke V./Horst
Ze weten precies welke wol bij welk patroon hoort en hebben altijd verrassende kleurcombinaties op voorraad.
Marlies H./Sevenum
Mijn kleindochter wilde leren haken. We zijn samen naar het zaterdagcafe geweest en sindsdien gaat de haaknaald niet meer weg.
Annette R./Venray
Als beginner werd ik op mijn gemak gesteld. Eindelijk een winkel waar geduld geen modewoord is.
Petra B./Venlo
De keuze in mohair en alpaca is hier groter dan bij grote ketens. Het advies is in een paar minuten meer waard dan een uur googelen.
Erica J./Helden
Selten so eine gut sortierte Wollladen gefunden. Beratung war herzlich und kompetent.
