We believe in simple ideas, strong relationships, and knitted garms.
About us
Who we are
We are the collective of Threatwives.
Because life seems to be as long as our projects from time to time, we seek deeper connections with makers like us. It takes a whole group of friends to lead a meaningful life and it takes a s&%*load of nerves to get creative work going sometimes.
The more delicate the product, the harder the approach.
Knowing about these conditions, we founded this community for you.
We strive to get you (back) into producing the things you truly love.
You deserve to not only knit, but also to connect with others who do.
In this world of endless possibilities (and also pain, we see you), we want to focus on creating.
Assisting you with our combined knowledge, we can be the knit collective you wished for when you moved to Berlin.
See the profiles of our workshop instructors below.
Or, you know what? Maybe just register yourself a seat at the next one.

Why become a Threatwife?
People-First Approach
We will put your hands before ours. We always start explaining at a point you’ll understand. You are learning from the makers.
Long-Term Relationships
We’re not just here for the now. Knitting is a long haul. Life is, too. We aim to build meaningful connections in the process.
Proven Process, Flexible Execution
We bring structure where it counts and adaptability where it matters. Our teaching methods are clear, but always responsive.
Respect, Process, Flexible Execution
The second you walk in here, you’re one of the Threatwives. We want to learn just as much as we want to teach you.
