Time for a winter hobby!

As the days grow darker, shorter, and especially colder, and we spend more hours indoors, we think it’s the perfect time for a new winter hobby. For a bit of inspiration, make sure to stop by the hidden gem Cross & Woods on Westeinde. Here, you’ll find everything a craft enthusiast could dream of! From beautiful yarns and fabrics to threads and all the essentials for your next creative project.

If you’re not sure where to start, the two creative women who run the shop will guide you along! Eloïse and Pauline bring a wealth of experience and a deep passion for all things handmade—whether it’s knitting, embroidery, sewing, or weaving. In their shop, they’ve created a welcoming space where everyone can learn, get inspired, and enjoy the art of crafting.

White sheep, black sheep

At Cross & Woods, you’ll find so many beautiful and unique products. Take, for example, their Polderdraad! This yarn is made from the wool of local sheep that would have otherwise been discarded. How wonderful to knit a truly local wool sweater from it! You can always get inspired from the comfort of your couch by browsing Cross & Woods’ website, but it’s a much better idea to visit the shop in person. Fabrics and yarns are best felt and seen up close to choose the perfect color combinations. And while you’re there, Eloïse and Pauline can offer their expert advice to help you get started!

You can also use your Haagse Schatten gift card at Cross & Woods. Want to gift someone a new hobby? Purchase the gift card in our webshop or stop by one of our locations to pick one up in person.

The best part is that every euro spent on this gift card goes directly to a local business in The Hague. Together, we can continue to enjoy The Hague’s hotspots and support passionate local entrepreneurs. With over sixty Haagse Schatten locations accepting the gift card, there’s something for everyone!
