OUR CUSTOMERS

@noraia

The Skappel sweater was the first sweater I knitted, and the one that sparked my interest in knitting. Now I have so many homemade sweaters that I need a separate closet in the guest room to store them 😅

@strikkeunni

My first Skappel sweater was knitted in Iris and mini alpaca. It is still used a lot. I knitted a lot when I was young, but then it faded away…. Until the Skappel sweater came, since then there have been a lot of Skappel knits + a lot of other things. So it was with that that I found my way back to the joy of knitting🥰

@kreativeheidisl

I love my old Skappel sweater 🥰I remember the knitting process as a nice break from studying. Very easy to knit! Not difficult to put down and pick up again. It was quick to knit, and not least so nice to throw on on late summer evenings or cold winters🌸🤗

Katrine

My very first knitting project was a Mini Skappel sweater for my daughter. I still remember the feeling of happiness from having finished, and how nice it was to be able to give my daughter a sweater that I had knitted myself. This is where the joy of knitting began for me.
