Holli’s passion for knitting has spanned a lifetime, from learning to knit as a child to her fine arts degree majoring in textiles and jewellery, and an over 20-year designing career. A Holli Yeoh pattern is sure to offer something to learn, as well as a casually elegant aesthetic. Interesting techniques, clear instructions, and inclusive sizing ensure a rewarding knit with beautiful results.
Holli feels strongly about fine craftsmanship, believing that while there’s more than one right way to do things, it’s important to do it right!

Students leave her workshops with an arsenal of valuable techniques, a deep understanding of the choices to be made in knitting, and new confidence.
