Annie & Company is unique.
We are a team of indie artisans working to use our skills to glorify God and bless people. Each member of our team specializes in a few crafts that by themselves are wonderful, but put together they work to create unique and imaginative products.
Annie & Company is handmade…by the little guys.
Our products are handmade in the U.S.A. And as indie artisans, our goal is not quantity. It’s quality. We create our products in our homes, not factories. So you know that when you receive one of our products, it was made with joy and care.
Annie & Company is the result of friendships.
Before we ever started our own businesses or dreamed of collaborating on something like this, we were friends. It is out of those friendships that our business ties grew as we started our cottage industries. And it is those friendships that have blessed us with the ability to work together and take brainstorms of ideas and turn them into quality products.
Annie & Company is…
Annie, whose love of chickadees gave us our feathered friend mascot. She came up with the company name one day when composing an e-mail to a friend. It included a message from Annie and her family, so she signed it “Annie & Company.” She’s the one behind the Web site and will be the one you talk with the most when you contact us via e-mail. She’s a knitwear designer and the one who handcrafts the knitting stitch markers.
Jenn, Annie & Company’s resident seamstress. She creates the lovely box bags you see in the shop. She is also a knit and crochet designer. And she happens to be the model (though she would say she was the “victim”) in many photo shoots for Annie’s knitwear designs.
Rebekah of Maiden Yarn & Fiber, which is soon to be renamed Wildwood Fibers. She’s the fabulous indie dyer who takes color swatches from images and imagination and turns them into gorgeous yarn and roving colorways. She has also bravely volunteered as a model for photo shoots. Look for her in the photos of the Lizzie Bennet Shawlette.
Ruth, a wonderful knitter who has dabbled in design. She’s helped Annie with R&D, test-knitting, photography, and has proven many times that two heads are better than one — especially where knitting and math collide.
