Explore our coursesThe beginning
Founded in 2018 by Elena Voss in the fog-kissed hills of Northern California, KeenGrove Stitchery began as a small circle of friends sharing yarn and stories every Friday evening.
Over the years that circle grew into a worldwide community of 42,000 mindful makers. Each course is designed with the same intention: to slow down time, honor craftsmanship, and create something you will love for decades.

We believe progress arrives one stitch at a time. Every lesson is paced for presence and long-term retention.

We only partner with farms and mills that treat animals, land, and workers with utmost respect.
