About SAGITTERN DENMARK
A passion for craftsmanship and quality since 1985
The story of SKYTTEN DANMARK began more than 40 years ago, when Linda, with great passion, threw herself into weaving as a creative hobby. Fascinated by the many possibilities of the craft, she invested in a floor loom and began to immerse herself in weaving techniques through training and practical experience.
It quickly became clear that access to quality materials – especially weaving equipment and weaving yarn – was limited. The selection was small, and it was difficult to find the right products. This challenge became the starting point for the journey that would later form the foundation of SKYTTEN DANMARK.
In 1985, Linda founded the company SKYTTEN DANMARK. The first few years were marked by challenges, as it proved difficult to find suppliers willing to enter into partnerships. Through perseverance and targeted effort, however, Linda succeeded in building strong relationships and securing unique agreements with some of the world's most renowned suppliers of weaving equipment and yarn – including the prestigious brand Ashford.
This dedication to quality and long-term partnerships laid the foundation for the development of SKYTTEN DANMARK and its position as a trusted player in the weaving industry.
The only weaving shop in Copenhagen
Exactly 40 years after the founding of SKYTTEN DANMARK, Maiken took over ownership of the company in 2025 and opened a physical store in the heart of Copenhagen. As the only weaving shop in the capital, SKYTTEN DANMARK was quickly established as a unique weaving house with a focus on quality and tradition.
Maiken has a background as an archaeologist and school teacher and has built an extensive career within the museum world and education. Her passion for textile craft, historical working methods, and sustainable use of natural materials forms the basis of SKYTTEN's vision.
With a deep fascination for the craftsmanship of the past and a modern approach to self-sufficiency, SKYTTEN offers a special experience for everyone with an interest in weaving and textile art.
