At Studio Myr, sustainability is not a slogan or trend — it is simply how I work.
From my earliest childhood memories of making tiny dresses and raincoats for my dolls, I have felt a deep love for materials, craftsmanship, and the beauty of creating something with intention. Today, that same feeling guides every decision I make: from choosing natural fibres to producing in small batches, from working with local artisans to hand-finishing every piece in my atelier in Thorn.

Why I Choose Natural, Responsible Fibres

I work exclusively with pure, natural and responsibly sourced yarns that honour both the environment and the people who make them possible. These fibres feel soft on the skin, last for many years, and carry the beauty and honesty of nature.

My core fibres include:

• Extra-fine RWS Merino wool — soft, breathable, biodegradable and certified for responsible animal welfare.
• GOTS-certified organic cotton — free from pesticides, gently produced with respect for soil and workers.
• Masters of Linen® European flax linen — grown in Europe, requiring almost no irrigation or chemicals.
• Small-run specialty yarns — velvet blends, artisan-dyed fibres and limited-edition textures.

These materials connect me to nature — its colours, structures, and quiet rhythms. Working with natural fibres makes designing almost meditative: the yarn tells me how it wants to behave, and I follow.

Small-Batch Production in the Netherlands

Thoughtful, local, and human-scale

I refuse to participate in fast production cycles. Every Studio Myr garment begins as a sample knitted by me on one of my four machines. Once the final design is ready, it is produced in small batches by one of the last remaining knitting factories in the Netherlands.

Small-batch production means:

• No overproduction

• No stock waste

• Space to experiment and refine

• A personal connection with the people who knit my work

• Quality I can stand behind, piece by piece

Most garments still pass through my own hands before they meet their new owner.

Hand-Finishing:
Where Craftsmanship Meets Care

Finishing a garment by hand is my favourite moment of the process — the quiet final step where everything comes together. I check every stitch, close every seam, steam, shape and refine until the piece feels exactly right.

Why hand-finishing matters:

• Every piece is individually checked

• Seams are softer and more durable

• Fit and drape can be adjusted with care

• Nothing leaves the atelier unless it feels perfect

Longevity Over Fashion Cycles

Studio Myr pieces are not designed for one season — they are designed for years. I create slowly, thoughtfully, and without chasing trends. Timelessness, comfort and elegance matter far more than fashion’s rapid rhythm.

To help your knitwear last even longer:

• Wash gently by hand or on a wool cycle

• Use minimal detergent

• Dry flat to preserve shape

• Air your garments between wears

• Store folded, never hung

Transparency & Honesty

Sustainability in fashion must be honest. I will never claim to be “perfectly sustainable,” because no garment can be produced without impact. But what I can offer is transparency: small, local production, natural fibres, responsible sourcing, limited quantities, and garments designed to last.

My intention is simple: to create knitwear with a gentle footprint and a meaningful connection between maker and wearer.
