About Us
At Extermination, we’re not here to “erase” anything—except the boring, the uniform, and the idea that hand-knitted has to fit a single, quiet mold. We craft yarn ornaments and bags that break the rules of traditional knitwear: pieces with bold energy, unexpected details, and a personality that refuses to blend into the background. Our name is a statement, not a slogan—it’s our promise to exterminate mediocrity, one stitch at a time.
Our journey started when a team of knitters grew tired of seeing handcrafted pieces reduced to “cute” or “cozy” afterthoughts. We wanted to prove that yarn craft could be edgy, expressive, and unapologetically unique. So we traded muted pastels for bold color clashes, swapped basic shapes for asymmetrical lines, and turned “flaws” into features—because the slight unevenness of a hand-stitched edge, the unexpected texture of mixed yarns, and the audacity of a design that doesn’t play it safe? That’s where the magic lives.
For our yarn ornaments, we rethink what a “decor piece” can be. Forget tiny, delicate figurines—we make oversized knit mushrooms with neon spots, jagged-edged starbursts in contrasting threads, and quirky animal shapes with exaggerated features. They’re not just for shelves; they’re conversation starters, little bursts of personality that demand to be noticed.
Our knit bags are equally uncompromising. We craft slouchy totes with uneven hems, crossbodies with bold tassel details, and mini bags with unexpected cutouts—all using durable, textured yarns that stand up to daily use. They’re functional, yes, but they’re also a way to wear your individuality: a bag that doesn’t match everyone else’s, that tells a story about someone who isn’t afraid to be different.
We source yarns that match our ethos—vibrant, varied, and full of character—from sustainable suppliers who share our commitment to quality without conformity. Every piece is made by hand in our studio, where no two items are exactly alike. We don’t chase trends; we create them. We don’t cater to “what’s popular”; we cater to people who want their belongings to feel as unique as they are.
Extermination isn’t just a brand—it’s a movement for anyone who’s ever felt like their style had to fit a box. We’re here to celebrate the weird, the bold, and the beautifully unordinary. Thank you for joining us in exterminating the idea that handcrafted has to be humble. Let’s make knitwear that roars, not whispers.
