Knitting baby clothes: a handmade gift with meaning
The tenderness of the mesh Giving a knitted garment to a newborn is much more than just an outfit: it is a gift filled with gentleness, patience and love. Varied and timeless models From bras to hats and even little blankets, the catalogs available in stores are full of ideas for dressing little ones with style and delicacy. The joy of passing on knowledge Knitting baby clothes also means perpetuating a tradition. Many customers tell me how their mothers or grandmothers passed down this know-how… And today, they are doing it too.

Why choose natural wools for your projects?
Comfort above all Natural wools, such as virgin wool, alpaca, or cotton, provide unparalleled comfort. Soft, breathable, and durable, they are ideal for everyday knitwear. A question of quality Choosing natural fibers means investing in pieces that stand the test of time. Unlike synthetic materials, they retain their shine and suppleness wash after wash. A responsible choice Natural wools often come from more environmentally friendly sources. At Pelotes de Pénélope , I favor French and historic brands, guarantees of know-how and sustainability.

Knitting, a passion to share
A story that begins in the family It was my grandmother, a passionate knitter and crocheter, who passed on to me the love of yarn and needles when I was a child. Since that day, knitting has never left me. Each stitch, each project is a memory, an emotion. Opening Les Pelotes de Pénélope was a way to extend this story and share it. From Paris to Paimpol, a return to the roots After a few years spent in Paris, I felt the need to return to Brittany, my heartland. It is in Paimpol, on Place Gambetta, that I chose to put down my balls of wool and welcome those who share my passion. Here, you will find quality wool, yarns with varied textures, but also a warm place where knitting is lived and passed on. Much more than a shop At Pelotes de Pénélope , you will find not only a wide selection of wools and yarns – virgin, fine, fancy, recycled… – but also all the materials and accessories you need for your projects. Catalogs and books are also available to inspire you, whether you want to knit baby clothes, children’s fashion, or adult fashion. Moments of sharing Because knitting creates connections, I regularly organize creative workshops (macrame, punch needle, etc.) and knitting-tea gatherings . These are friendly moments, open to all, to learn, exchange and relax around a shared passion. An invitation to creativity Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, my shop is a place where everyone can find inspiration, good advice, and the ideal materials for their projects. At Les Pelotes de Pénélope , it's less about following a trend than cultivating an authentic passion, focused on quality and the pleasure of creating.
