Brand Story:

Wool and the Gang’s story began in 2007 with our founders Lisa Sabrier, Aurelie Popper and Jade Harwood. These three fashion industry rebels wanted to make knitting cool again and provide an antidote to fast fashion. And so, the first digitally-native craft brand was born, selling DIY fashion kits for the modern maker.

14 years later, we’ve come a long way from our first stitch. Now a part of the global DMC group (fancy, shmancy), we’re part of a top notch team revolutionising the big bad world of needlecrafts. Our mission is to inspire the next generation of makers, and we’ve created a crafty plan to get the whole world stitching:

  • Premium, planet-friendly yarns. We travel the world to source fibres with a soul that don’t cost the earth.
  • We’ve made learning to stitch as easy as A, B, C with our easy to follow patterns and hundreds of handy tutorials.
  • Connect makers in every corner of the world with our fast growing knitwork of over 1 million. You can join in the fun at #woolandthegang
