Theknittingbarber

The Knitting Barber is a knitting brand founded by Jojo Stolpe in 2020 in Vaasa, on Finland’s west coast. What began as a small project to promote Stolpe’s knitting patterns grew into a business creating practical products and accessories for knitters. The company aims to modernize the knitting experience with thoughtfully designed tools and supplies, and its products are now available through more than 300 resellers worldwide.

Its range includes circular knitting needles with flexible, memory-free cables, ergonomic designs and sharp tips, as well as silicone cords sold in colourful sets. The collection also features knitting bags, including the Vivienne Large, a vegetable-tanned Italian leather basket designed to carry multiple projects and knitting essentials. The Knitting Barber publishes knitting patterns, available through Ravelry, and shares product information and updates online.

In Vaasa, the company’s Basecamp serves as an office, workshop and retail space. It is also intended for knitting courses, classes, workshops, pop-up sales and knit nights, connecting the brand’s products with a community of makers.
