Connecting people through the art of knitting

We are a community of hobbyist knitters around The Netherlands bringing a warm and loving embrace to people through our local, hand-knit clothing made from natural materials.

  • Three knitted jumpers with different patterns

    We share the value of an ancient craft while continuing to pass it along to new generations.

  • Newborn baby laying down in a tan knitted blanket

  • Incorporating love, attention, and time into each garment, promoting sustainable fashion and the slow movement.

  • Bringing joy and purpose to hobbyist knitters; creating a way for their authentically-crafted garment to have a place in the world.

  • Green headband with handwritten note from knitter

2022

Originally established in January 2022 as a mother- and daughter-in-law business, amma knitwear was born from a love of connecting with the self and others through knitting.

We believe people are embraced with a warm hug when wearing an amma garment.
We want the whole world to feel that kind of love.

  • "The attention to detail and superior quality of the scarves I purchased will make me a repeat customer. The owner really listened to my request and spent a lot of time ensuring the color, material and style met my needs."

  • "Beautiful knitwear and super friendly people. So far I ordered four custom sweaters and one headband and they are all beautiful and super soft. Will definitely order again!"

  • "It feels special to own (or give as a gift) an item that is custom made, beautifully wrapped and presented with so much attention to detail."

  • "We bought a beautiful wool baby blanket and are so happy with it! Wonderfully warm for our little one and ideal for camping. Despite the cold, our son stayed nice and warm."

  • "I received a beautiful scarf and later a matching hat. The wool is of beautiful quality and color. And what's also very nice... it doesn't itch! A lot of attention and love goes in to the products and it really shows."

  • "I got an amazing blue scarf. The quality and touch sensation is just unbelievably soft. Knowing that someone did it with love, every time I wear it makes it feel like a warm hug. Totally in love."

Feedback from amma knitters

  • I am a stay-at-home mother, and Amma has given me more purpose in my daily life and the feeling of being valued for my knitting. Unfortunately, I don't live very close to Zwolle, so meeting people in person is not a given, but the contact through the app to chat about knitting is nice. It's very enjoyable to see what everyone creates and how customers look in their beautiful knits.

    Linda, Berlicum

  • I find it very relaxing to knit, creating beautiful things, especially using Amma's designs to knit for others. For a personal touch, the buyer can see how much love went into the knitting. It's also very enjoyable to talk with others about knitting, exchanging tips and tricks, and appreciating each other's beautiful work.

    Robert, Gouda

  • I would like to pass on the tradition of handicrafts (from your head to your body and heart) to my daughter and find it fantastic to do this together with her. We are challenged to learn new knitting patterns with beautiful materials, creating awareness about slow fashion and sustainability.

    Annelies en Aimée, Dalfsen

  • At a market we attended recently, every visitor we spoke with had warm stories about their family or other loved ones knitting. The proudness of a grown-up 'tough man' who told us about his grandmother and the socks she made for him in the past and how he's missing them now. How he lit up when we said we could make woollen handknit socks for him... Knitting is storytelling.

    Martje, Zwolle Stadshagen

  • It's special to create, to let something come to life through your hands, and really enjoyable to share this with other knitters/people at a market or a joint knitting evening. Knitting brings peace to my mind—everything comes to a standstill except your hands. Not to forget the moments of joy when a customer is satisfied and happy with the knitted product.

    Marleen, Zwolle

  • My client gave me a big compliment for the perfect knitting I did. Now I feel the love and purpose for why I am knitting with 'amma'. It was meant to be... making someone happy with what I love to do, knitting.
