CaMaRose Roses Washcloth no 190

“My name is Trine Bertelsen, I am a yarn wholesaler and the owner of CaMaRose.dk.

I founded my company in 2010, under the name Strikkebogen.dk, it started as a web shop, with my own designed for babies and children patterns.

In late 2010, I started importing yarn from Peru and started wholesaling to other shops.

I started with only  Pima cotton and the Lama cotton 1/2, but soon I began to expand the range and developed  new qualities such as Lamatweed.

I have been  designing and writing knitting and crochet patterns since 2008. Before founding my own business, I worked as a freelance knit designer for other wholesalers in Denmark and abroad, for weekly magazines and knitting magazines. The experience I gained from working for others has been absolutely indispensable and I am even convinced that designing and writing a good knitting / crochet pattern is something that takes many years to learn and it is something that is always developing.

From the very beginning of 2010, my 3 children have inspired me to design and are my daily sources of inspiration. This is the reason why  I chose to change the name of my company from the Strikkebogen to CaMaRose.dk, it is abbreviation of my 3 children’s names, Carl-Emil, Mathilde and Anna-Rose.

My mission, from the beginning, was to be able to sell good quality yarn under my own name, which is affordable and not available elsewhere . I chose to work with with suppliers who comply with ethical and environmental regulations with regards animals and the environment in the production of yarn. In addition to this i wanted to design knitting and crochet patterns that are easily available and fashionable.
