ABOUT US (ME)

Hello, it’s me – Iveta.
I’m originally from Latvia, but I’ve been living in Scotland for the past four years. Back in Latvia, I worked in a variety of fields — at an advertising agency, in radio, in cinema exhibition, and I was even the Managing Director of a company. Like many business people, I eventually experienced burnout, left my job, and set off travelling.

During my travels, I realised that knitting had always been my faithful companion — helping me unwind after busy workdays, or keeping me company in airports and other places along the way. After returning from two years of travelling, I found a job that felt truly close to my heart: working at Hobbywool, a yarn concept store in Old Riga mainly loved by tourists who share a passion for knitting.

It was there that I met my future husband, and life brought me to Scotland. Even now, knitting and wool remain very close to me, which is why I decided to build my own business around them. Today, I introduce fellow wool enthusiasts here to yarns from the Baltic States, and I also design my own mittens and fingerless gloves — inspired by ancient Latvian traditions, but adapted for modern knitters and infused with a Scottish touch.

Thank you for reading this far and getting to know me a little (even if only virtually). I hope we’ll meet at a wool show someday, or perhaps continue our friendship here on my website — through the kits and yarns I’ve brought from Latvia.

Warm greetings,
Iveta
