Working at
Hobbii

About five years ago, four tech entrepreneurs spotted a huge interest in yarn; Our growth journey started back in 2016 and consisted of four young guys and a pallet of yarn. They started to supply yarn and inspiration to knitting and crocheting enthusiasts around the world, and we haven’t looked back since. That developed into an adventure which so far has led us to the prestigious Børsen Gazelle award as Denmark's fastest growing company in 2020! 🥇 The recipe behind all of this is about us having fun and delivering results - often in that order!
