About Soft Haus

I first started knitting at age 10 and have not put down the needles since! After studying fashion design at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I moved to New York City to pursue a career in knit design, finally settling in Los Angeles, California in 2018, where I now live and work! As the daughter of professional chefs, I know the best raw materials make the highest quality finished product. So in 2012, I travelled to Peru in search of the softest alpaca, the finest Pima cotton, and the warmest wool. What I discovered there, a community of the most talented knitters and dyers, pleasantly surprised me. Over the years visiting this beautiful country, I discovered Peru’s commitment to eco-friendly and ethical practices, giving women and men a way to earn a fair income making a sustainable product in safe working conditions.Read their story
