Anna Dervout is the founder and designer of Along avec Anna, and her mission is to help knitting play a creative, calming, confidence-building and all-round positive role in people’s lives by placing accessibility and sustainability at the forefrot of everything she does. Passionate about all sorts of crafts since her childhood, Anna started her small business in 2017, after running her popular craft blog from 2013.

At Along avec Anna, she and her team create ethical yarn, unique patterns and custom accessories to provide beginners and experts alike with all their crafting needs. Their natural fibre bases are entirely cruelty-free and certified and they take care to work with spinning mills that respects animals, humans and their surroundings, reflecting their own values as a company.

Authentic, accessible, sustainable and creative, their approach is both human and educational. It is based on step by step, detailed patterns and accessible to as many people as possible. The patterns are size inclusive and usually available in several languages at alongavecanna.com and on Ravelry.

Anna’s goal is to share her knowledge and skills with the knitting community in an ethical, respectful and friendly way.
