The Beginning
Hi, my name is Ruta. I'm originally from Latvia, but the idea for Stihija came to life while I was working as a wilderness guide in the Arctic, where winter lasts forever and cozy nights are the norm. I started spending my evenings knitting and crocheting just to pass the time and stay warm. Before I knew it, I was hooked — literally. That’s how Stihija started: with a ball of yarn, a lot of snow outside, and a spark of inspiration.

Why Stihija?
In Latvian culture, knitting and crocheting are deeply traditional — skills passed down through generations. I wanted to take that heritage and flip it on its head. Stihija is my way of making those time-honored crafts feel fresh, bold, and wearable for modern city life.
The name Stihija in Latvian language means a powerful, untamed force of nature — and that’s exactly the vibe. With vibrant colors and unique designs, each piece is made to shake up the ordinary and bring a little chaos (the good kind!) to the grey, uniform streets.

Makers
Stihija is brought to life by skilled Latvian women from different regions of the country — makers with decades of knitting and crocheting experience. Their expertise and precision ensure every piece is crafted with care and quality.
