strikk

strikk

strikk (norwegian for knit) was started by Tanya Robinson in late 2007 borne out of a love for knitting instilled and inspired by her grandmother.

everything in strikk's shop is handknitted by Tanya and where possible, yarn is used that has been hand-dyed and spun by previously disadvantaged south african women in job creation programmes.

Tanya originally hails from cape town, south africa - with strong norwegian influences.  she currently lives in london where during the day you will find her labouring behind her computer at an investment bank - but at all other times, she's on the couch knitting furiously whilst her partner keeps her fed and watered.

custom orders are very welcome - everything you see in this shop can be knitted up in different colours or designs that are unique to you and your home - a one-off creation especially for you.  

thanks for stopping by.
