My name is Mari, and I’m the founder of WoolWomen.
I’m a professional hairdresser, and I’ve been an entrepreneur for over 20 years. Alongside my work, creating with my hands has always been an important part of my life. Over the years I’ve worked with many materials—from drawing and furniture restoration to wool and metal wire—but dyeing has been my strongest passion since my school days.
WoolWomen was created from the wish to do something of my own, something where colours, materials and hands-on making come together. I dye all the yarns myself and take care of almost everything in the daily running of the business. Taru helps out whenever extra hands are needed.
For me, knitting is a way to slow down and breathe. Hand-dyed yarns are an invitation to enjoy that moment—time set aside just for yourself.
You’re warmly welcome to discover WoolWomen through the online shop, in the studio, or at events. Meeting customers and hearing your stories is always a pleasure.
