About SAGITTERN DENMARK

A passion for craftsmanship and quality since 1884

The story of SKYTTEN begins in 1985, when Linda, with great passion, threw herself into weaving as a creative hobby. Fascinated by the possibilities of the craft, she invested in a shaft loom and began to immerse herself in weaving techniques through targeted teaching.

It quickly became clear to Linda that weaving required access to a wide range of materials – especially weaving yarn, which at the time was both hard to find and limited in selection. This challenge became the start of a journey that would truly shape the foundation of SKYTTEN.

In 1985, Linda founded the company SKYTTEN. DENMARK. The first years were marked by challenges, as it proved difficult to find suppliers willing to cooperate. However, through persistence and focused effort, Linda managed to build strong relationships and secure unique agreements with some of the world's most recognized suppliers of weaving equipment - including the prestigious brand Ashford.

This dedication and strategic approach laid the foundation for SKYTTEN's growth and position as a trusted player in the industry.

The only weaving shop in Copenhagen
In 2025, Maiken took over ownership of SKYTTEN DANMARK and opened a physical store in the heart of Copenhagen. As the only weaving shop in the capital, SKYTTEN quickly established itself 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 in the museum world and teaching. Her passion for textile craftsmanship, historical working methods and the sustainable use of natural materials form the basis of SKYTTEN's vision.

With a deep fascination with the crafts of the past and a modern approach to self-sufficiency, SKYTTEN offers a special experience for anyone with an interest in weaving and textile art.
