Who Is Finnished Knits?

Hei! I’m Noora, and I’m the everything behind Finnished Knits, which in turn is my little online yarn shop. The name of the shop is spelled with two Ns, because I am originally from Finland, and as such, Finnish. 

I started my business in 2022 to fill an empty niche I saw in the knitting and yarn world. Now I get to delight yarn crafters by sending beautiful, squishy packages to customers all around the USA.

  • The Yarns

    My shop’s specialty is Nordic yarn brands. I have wool blend yarns from Finland in three weights (Lankava), 100% Icelandic wool yarn (Léttlopi), and beautiful multi-colored yarns from Norway (Viking Nordlys) and Denmark (CEWEC Blossom Fade). I love that these brands provide the same colorways as staples in their product lines, so you know you’ll be able to get more of your favorite color later.

    I also carry all of my favorite needles and tools, as well as a collection of pattern books and digital patterns to round out all your project needs.

  • The Team

    In this case, the team is me. I have grand plans for the future, but for now I don’t have any employees. I do have two dogs who remind me to take breaks, and my husband and kids will occasionally pitch in.

    My craft of choice is knitting. I do know the basics of crochet, but I have never been able to make anything I would want to show to anyone else. I love stranded colorwork, and especially socks.

    The ongoing joke is that everything in the shop is my favorite, because I only carry the things I love. And I do that because I want you to have access to all the wonderful things I’ve discovered, too.

My Values

No specific knitting style or technique is better than another.

Use the yarn that works for you and your project.

Be brave enough to suck at something new.

Diversity and inclusivity are what make this world beautiful.
