About Us

 

My name is Wilbert Schouten. Together with my parents and our staff I work in our Craft shop.

My parents Paul and Ina Schouten built up the business and are still active in the shop. The building was bought by my grandfather, Simon Schouten, in 1960, who wanted to expand his businesses in Amsterdam. He had been selling sewing machines there already since the 1930’s!

It is a true challenge for me to be active in this business. I love pampering customers with the best of service and the nicest yarns. Beautiful yarns are my passion and I knit and crochet myself too. I have been knitting on Dutch national television 4 times now. I have a news-blog at www.willswools.com

I hope this website will give you a good view of who we are and what we do. Any questions? Just email us at info@schoutenhandwerken.nl
