50 Years of Crafting Excellence

De Bondt has been serving the crafting community since 1972. The journey began with Harmen and Marjan De Bondt, who founded the company in the north of the Netherlands while studying at the University of Groningen. As the business grew, their home quickly became too small to serve as a warehouse, and the company expanded from a national to an international market. Along the way, they acquired the renowned yarn brand Scheepjes. Today, under the leadership of their son, Job de Bondt, we export to 80 countries worldwide each year.
