Apella who?
​
​
Apella Knits originated from the head and hands of Nele Druyts, myself. I knitted my first scarf with the help of my mom, the internet taught me the rest. Since then you rarely see me leave the house without knitting needles and a ball of wool.
​
In 2017 I started with Apella Knits as a sideline. Under this name I give (online) knitting workshops and design knitting patterns, some of which are also available as a knitting kit. Always with attention to timeless designs in high-quality yarns.
​
In 2021 I started a new knitting label, BROL - Bewust Breigoed , for which I design and make yarn-bound collections on the hand knitting machine.
​
Oh and that Apella? It refers to my Scout totem, the capuchin monkey. These monkeys are often busy with something because they like to make something beautiful. I thought it couldn't be more appropriate.
