Julia Wilkens

I’m Julia Wilkens, a knitwear designer driven by a lifelong fascination with the interplay of yarns, textures, and colors.

My approach blends traditional knitting techniques with contemporary design concepts. I celebrate the artistry of hand knitting, infusing intricate patterns, complex stitches, and meticulous attention to detail into each garment. I believe knitwear has the power to evoke emotions and tell stories through its tactile nature.

Sustainability and ethics are core values in my work. I prioritize responsible sourcing of premium yarns from fair trade suppliers, striving to create a positive impact on both knitwear and the environment.

My journey as a knitwear designer is an ongoing evolution. With each collection, I aim to captivate knitting enthusiasts with designs that reflect my commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability, and design excellence. My patterns strive to celebrate the enduring beauty that can be woven with a simple strand of yarn.
