We started Making Stories because we deeply believe in the power of two things: sustainability and knitting.

Stitching sustainability into every aspect of life (and business) can not only help us save this beautiful planet, but also lead a more mindful and fulfilling life. That being said, we believe sustainability looks different for everyone. Finding what exactly it means for you and making decisions that reflect that in your daily life is incredibly empowering.

We're here to support you on this journey - and to combine it with one of the most joyful things we've found in life: knitting.

Through our selection of yarns and publications, our blog and podcast, we hope to encourage and empower you to create projects you love and knits you will wear for years to come.

Our Story

In late 2016, Hanna Lisa was approached by a friend who wanted to create a knitting book featuring sustainable European yarns. Out of those first seeds grew a small team, a crowdfunding campaign, and the first Making Stories publication "Woods".

Between 2017 and 2019 Making Stories saw a lot of growth and changes: We launched digital collections and more books, introduced our bi-yearly Making Stories Magazine, hired a team and faced financial challenges. Those years weren't easy, but they allowed us to set us on the path that we're on now.

At the beginning of 2020 with Hanna Lisa having come back from maternity leave, we started our journey back to our roots - work centered on the intersection of sustainability in knitting.

A relaunch of the blog, the introduction of the Making Stories podcast, and the addition of sustainably produced yarns are our first steps towards what we want to be for you: Your one-stop-shop when it comes to sustainability in knitting.
