💬 Our story

Hello! It’s us — the Petel studio

My name is Svetlana, and I have been knitting since childhood. A crochet hook first found its way into my hands at six, and knitting needles at fourteen. Since then knitting has been not just a hobby but a part of life: sweaters, dresses, socks, hats, lace doilies — all by hand, with attention to every detail.

At nineteen I discovered machine knitting. My good old BOND machine is still going strong — it came with me to Israel in 2000 and holds many warm memories.

Then life got busy, and knitting became a rare guest... until in 2023 my grown-up daughter Daniel said: "Mom, teach me to knit." That is where it all started again — only now together.

Daniel knitted her first toys, a scarf, a sweater — and got hooked! Especially on stylish shoppers made of cotton yarn, which we happily carry ourselves. So a new chapter of our family began — the Petel studio 💛

✨ Family legend

The green mohair sweater

Svetlana knitted it for herself at nineteen. Many years later Daniel fell in love with it and started wearing it. This lurex sweater has been with us for almost 30 years! That is the magic of hand knitting: things live long, keeping the warmth of the hands that made them.

From Svetlana’s teenage years — to photos with Daniel. One sweater, almost three decades 💚
