Experience Iceland trough knitting

Connect with other knitters

Knitting brings people together. Whether you’re visiting Iceland for a few days or staying longer, our workshops are a chance to pause, pick up your needles, and enjoy the simple pleasure of knitting together.

A handmade memory of Iceland

Instead of bringing home another souvenir, create something unique yourself. Your project will become a small reminder of the time you spent knitting in Reykjavik.

  • Downtown location

    Our cozy knitting studio is located just 15min walk from Reykjavik city center, at Hlemmur Haus. The location is directly at the top of the main street Laugavegur, so it’s a convenient spot to start your downtown day with some knitting and coffee.

  • Beginner or experienced knitter – everyone is welcome!

    We welcome knitters of all level, and we’re also happy to teach you the basics of knitting if this is your first time. Our projects are easy, and we have all the materials at the studio, so you only have to bring yourself and your knitting enthusiasm.

Hi, nice to meet you!

We’re Nanna and Lotta, the knitters behind Knittable Studio. When we’re not hosting workshops and gatherings, we run a website called Knittable that provides knitters with tools for designing their own patterns.

As avid knitters, we love the creativity and calm that knitting brings, and the way it connects people. With Knittable Studio, we wanted to create a cozy space in Reykjavik where travelers and locals can gather around a shared knitting table, start a new project, and enjoy a few relaxing hours of knitting together. With a cup of coffee or tea, of course!

One of our favorite things is meeting knitters from around the world, and we’re looking forward to welcoming you to the studio. Welcome!
