Who I am

My name is Marinela, I am a knit and crochet designer.

My passion for handmade started when I was a child, when my grandmother and my mother taught me how to knit and crochet my first stitches, and I have never stopped since. I started writing my own patterns about 2 years ago. I have always loved creating simple, unique and perfect everyday garments. My patterns are available in various sizes and are always carefully tested by several testers both in Italian and English. Take a look at my designs here .

In order to offer you the best knitting and crochet experience, I have decided to also offer a careful selection of Made in Italy yarns with quality raw materials and at very affordable prices.

The yarns you will find in the shop have been inserted after a careful selection. For me it is very important that the quality/price standard is respected.
