About 60 Garner North
How fun that you found your way here!
Warm welcome
Here I hope that both you as a beginner and an advanced knitter can find inspiration. My name is Anna Leithe and I run 60 Garner Nord. For as long as I can remember, I have enjoyed knitting. Ideally, I knit every day, and when I can, I also do hand machine knitting. This is completely natural in Shetland, to combine these two crafts. It is perhaps not so surprising that I feel at home in Shetland. With me, you have the opportunity to buy yarn both by the skein and by the cone. So for both hand knitting and hand machine knitting.
Sustainability
Sustainability and craftsmanship take time, and I spend a lot of time finding traceable products. To be part of the change, it’s not just about offering traceable products of the highest quality but also about consumption.
You may need to save, wait, and long for a product created with passion where animals and people are well cared for throughout all stages of production. But perhaps it is precisely this sense of wholeness, longing, and joy for a product that makes us appreciate its value for many, many years.
In my previous role as a project manager at both Save the Children and UNICEF, I have seen what fast fashion does in countries with social injustices and enormous environmental impact. Fast fashion accounts for 10% of the world’s environmental impact. We are all affected!
Sustainability is about reducing environmental impact and also taking social responsibility. Together we can make a difference, so THANK YOU for finding your way here!
Preference
My fondness for feeling and smelling wool in all its forms has always been there. Yarns with different fibers that give such varied character, softness, and colors. The sheepskins that sparkle with their silky soft curls. Everything gives a unique sensation.
My creativity lies largely in inspiring in the store with the colors of the yarns, the qualities of the clothes, and the silky curls of the sheepskins. But of course, the forest, the sea, and the animals are my greatest inspiration. I am never without my knitting.
It is a privilege to work every day with the finest qualities and to know that neither animals nor people have been harmed during production.
The yarns and various crafts also take me to historical places with their culture and women's history – all together providing a deeper perspective. The best part is my fondness for all the wonderful encounters I have had with you through wool!
Philosophy
My philosophy with 60 Garner Nord is that I want to be part of changing the future. It may sound naive, but I believe that together we can succeed.
60 Garner Nord stands for slow fashion, where your creativity and creation are the focus. My wish is that you are inspired by all the beauty and the incredible color ranges of the yarns.
I want 60 Garner Nord to be a store where designers, spinners, and sheep farmers have the opportunity to showcase their passionate crafts of the highest quality. Where animals and people are well cared for in all stages of production. My wish is to work with small family businesses driven by the same passion as I am.
I want 60 Garner Nord to be a store where you feel Warmly Welcome with your heart!
