Agenda is subject to change
Hi. I'm Anne.
A knitting designer, a yarn lover, wool lover and color conscious Norwegian, knitting motivator and in love with nature and knitting of all kinds.
Short story is that I have knitted since ... forever.
I have designed knitting patterns my whole life, as I always have made my own designs and never ever followed someone else's pattern (apart from 4 times). I have designed for you guys for more than 10 years now and thousands of people have knit my patterns in Norwegian. Now I am all focused on you knitting the patterns in English - and, in addition to designing, teaching knitting is now my mission. And what can I say? I am loving every minute of it!
There is little I find more inspiring than to motivate YOU to move your needles and create magic.
Why Norwegian Wool Month?
Over the past few years, I have had the privilege of visiting some incredible yarn mills in Norway.
These visits have been immensely inspiring, and last year, I decided to create Norwegian Wool Month to share this inspiration with my "pack". My goal was to offer a series of webinars to spread knowledge and love for Norwegian wool and yarn.
The previous years, I was joined by Selbu Spinneri, Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, Stormdal Ull, and Tone Loeng, a renowned Norwegian knitting designer, who all shared their extensive knowledge about Norwegian yarns, sheep, and wool.
The event has been such a success and now has become a tradition, so this year it is back with a mix of returning and new presenters ready to share their insights - and as always, we are renewing ourselves slightly, and adding some group meetups and conversations this year.
What is Norwegian Wool Month?
This is a three-week free virtual event focused on celebrating Norwegian wool, yarn production, and knitting design. Join us for a series of engaging webinars and activities that highlight the rich heritage and unique qualities of Norwegian wool.
Event Highlights
Norwegian Yarns: Discover yarns made exclusively from Norwegian wool, produced entirely in Norway.
Unique Wool and Sheep: Learn what makes Norwegian wool and sheep different from others around the world.

Sustainability: Understand the sustainable practices in Norwegian wool production and the eco-friendly mindset that drives it.
What to Expect This Year
We have an exciting lineup of speakers and panels who are passionate about Norwegian wool and knitting. They will share their expertise and experiences on a variety of topics, from the uniqueness of Norwegian sheep breeds to the latest in sustainable wool production practices and how they have become fans of Norwegian yarns and knitting.
Join us for Norwegian Wool Month and immerse yourself in the world of Norwegian wool. Mark your calendars and prepare to be inspired by the beauty, tradition, and innovation of Norwegian knitting.
