​

Welcome to Dutch Knitwit Studio, where my long-standing passion for knitting has found its way back into my life!

​

In the early 80, I embarked on my journey into embroidery and quickly established my knitting business, producing hundreds of stylish sweaters and cardigans that captured the hearts of many.

Throughout the mid-80s, I pursued my love for music and graduated as an operasinger in 1992, financing my education through knitting endeavors. After performing the role of Carlotta Giudicelli in the Dutch production of Phantom of the Opera approximately 600 times and later debuting as Aida in Germany, I spent 20 remarkable years taking on all significant opera roles of my fach on the international operastages.

​

Although my knitting business took a backseat during this time, I continued to knit for friends.

Now, as an "old diva" with more time my hands, I am thrilled to rekindle my love for knitting!

​

I take great joy in working with exquisite materials such as soft kidmohair, silk, cashmere and alpaca, as well as honest cotton and pure wool. All guarantied cruelty free, fairtrade and sustainable.

Lately I added the exquisite kid mohair and other wools from the animals of my friends from The Knitwit Stable in Baambrugge, 20 km from Amsterdam.

​

Each piece is crafted with decades of expertise and a deep love for the art of knitting, bringing together the worlds of fashion, art, nature and sustainability.
