Bettaknit
A course by Bettaknit
Barbara and Elisabetta are sisters from Proto and founders of the DIY knitwear brand Bettaknit. The two grew up surrounded by yarn and fashion; their mother and grandmother taught them how to knit and crochet while their father ran his own textile business.
Spurred by this family tradition and their knowledge of the industry, they decided to open their own e-commerce business selling balls of yarn and knitting kits. The aim of Bettaknit is to make knitting an accessible activity for everyone and to reinvent this classic art form with a modern approach.
