Woldten, LLC is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of hand knitting through innovative techniques that inspire and challenge knitters of all skill levels. Drawing inspiration from the interplay of geometry and texture, the designs transform two-dimensional fabric into captivating three-dimensional forms. By exploring intricate short-row shape patterning, origami-inspired construction, and vibrant stranded knit colorwork, each pattern blends traditional knitting methods with unique approaches, resulting in creations that are as wearable as they are artistic.
A commitment to the fibershed movement deeply influences this work. The belief in sustainable, locally sourced materials is central, connecting knitters to the landscapes and communities from which their fibers originate. This ethos of environmental responsibility and craftsmanship guides the exploration of knitting’s creative possibilities.
The patterns designed by Woldten have been likened to “Choose-Your-Own-Adventure” novels, where knitters embark on a journey filled with opportunities for personal creativity and input. Each pattern invites you to expand your skills while crafting beautiful, wearable pieces that showcase the versatility of hand knitting.
