At Along avec Anna, our mission is to help knitting play a creative, calming, and confidence-building role in people’s lives.
We create ethical yarn, unique patterns, and custom accessories for beginners and experts alike.
Our natural fibre bases (fingering merino, silk mohair and DK merino) are entirely cruelty free and certified, and we took care to work with spinning mills that respects animals, humans and the environment, thus reflecting our own values as a company.
Our patterns—including accessories, women’s garments, and children/baby clothes—are easy to follow and pair perfectly with our yarn. Authentic, accessible, sustainable and creative, our approach is both human and educational. It is based on step by step, detailed patterns and accessible to as many people as possible. Our newest designs are all size inclusive, and the old ones are currently reviewed to include more sizes.
Along avec Anna Ltd was founded in Exeter, UK by Anna Dervout in 2017, but Anna’s journey with the craft community actually started in 2013 when she founded her blog. Knitting quickly became for her, in addition to a passion, a way of life. Always a project on her needles, she spends her days brainstorming new pattern ideas and creating them using our beautiful yarns.
As the company expanded, we are now a small growing team of craft passionates : Sarah, is based in Liverpool and is in charged of our customer service, product development, blog writing. English is her first language but her level of french is close to perfection !
Elise joined the team in 2019 and is our freelance tech editor; she grades the patterns imagined by Anna in different sizes, as well as proofreading and correcting the patterns in French and English.
Charline, has been working for Along avec Anna since 2021 and is our talented freelance illustrator. Creation of the pattern layout, illustrations, schematics, but also the various products we offer in the shop, she is here to draw all the ideas of Anna and the team!
Perrine, who’s based in Montreal, joined Along avec Anna in 2022 and is our freelance Web writer / content creator. With Along avec Anna, she is here to put into words the world of knitting to always bring more inspiration and pedagogy.
Finally, Harry is always here to help for Along avec Anna. Whether it is for the pictures of the patterns, or for the logistics involved within the company, he’s been Anna’s supportive partner since the very beginning.
