Entwicklung addiYarnArm

Produkt-Tipp

Von Vancouver nach Köln: Die Entwicklung des addiYarnArms

Stricken und Häkeln kann unterwegs zur Herausforderung werden. Wäre es da nicht genial, das Problem von herumrollendem Garn, verknotetem Garn in der Tasche und unhandlichen Transportmöglichkeiten mit einem praktischen Tool zu lösen?

Hier erfahren Sie, wie der YarnArm 2024 vom britischen Ehepaar Adrian und Louise Grieves erfunden wurde.

Inhaltsverzeichnis

Am Anfang stand das Garngewirr

Jede Erfindung hat eine Entstehungsgeschichte, und diese wird erzählt von den Erfindern Louise und Adrian Grieves, im Urlaub, in einem Bus auf Vancouver Island im Juli 2024:

Ich häkelte auf der Busfahrt und musste meine Wollknäuel ständig vom schmutzigen Boden des Busses aufheben. Sie rollten mir bei der Fahrt einfach ständig vom Schoß. Mein Mann Ade saß neben mir und machte eine beiläufige Bemerkung, die den Verlauf unseres gesamten nächsten Jahres veränderte: „Du brauchst etwas, um die Wolle an deinem Arm zu befestigen.“
Wir begannen sofort, Ideen zu diskutieren: Vielleicht eine leichte Garnschale oder eine Spindel, die am Oberarm befestigt wird, um die Wolle an Ort und Stelle zu halten?

Sicherlich musste das schon jemand erfunden haben. Eine schnelle Google-Suche ergab jedoch etwas anderes. Der YarnArm (Spoiler-Alarm: jetzt addiYarnArm) war geboren.

Prototypen und Möglichkeiten

Zu Hause machte sich Ade sofort an die Arbeit. Die erste Version – mit einer kleinen Plastikschale – war noch nicht besonders erfolgreich. Aber die zweite Version war der Durchbruch: eine gebogene Kunststoffhalterung mit einer leichtgängigen Spule und einem elastischen Band. Das funktionierte wunderbar. Das Garn wurde schön gleichmäßig zugeführt, verfing sich nicht und sprang vor allem nicht vom Arm.
Wir wussten sofort, dass daraus ein Produkt entstehen könnte. Wir meldeten ein vorläufiges Patent an und ließen den Namen YarnArm als Marke eintragen. Die Frage war nun: Wie geht es weiter?

Prototypen und Möglichkeiten

Lizenzierung statt „Dragon’s“

„Ihr solltet bei Dragon’s Den mitmachen!“ (britischen Reality-TV-Format, bei dem Unternehmer ihre Geschäftsideen einer Jury aus wohlhabenden Investoren pitchen, ähnlich dem deutschen Format „Höhle der Löwen“). Aber wir wussten , das war nichts für uns. Mit Ende 50 ein Produktionsunternehmen von Grund auf aufbauen? Das klang anstrengend, teuer und riskant. Die Idee an eine etablierte Handwerksmarke zu lizenzieren, klang da viel sinnvoller.
Ade erstellte Verkaufsunterlagen mit Fotos von mir, wie ich den YarnArm im Zug benutzte. Wir kontaktierten große Strick- und Häkelunternehmen – und hörten nichts. E-Mails verschwanden im Nichts. LinkedIn-Nachrichten wurden ignoriert. Selbst Facebook-Anfragen brachten uns nicht weiter.

Begeisterte Reaktionen auf der Wollmesse

Im September änderte sich alles auf einer großen Strick- und Häkelmesse auf der Pferderennbahn von Newbury. Ich trug den YarnArm, während wir herumliefen, und die Reaktionen waren großartig. Die Leute blieben stehen und stellten uns immer wieder dieselbe Frage: „Wo kann ich so etwas kaufen?“
Andere erzählten uns, dass sie genau so etwas für den Weg zur Arbeit, zum Stricken auf dem Sofa oder im Rollstuhl gebrauchen könnten. Plötzlich wurde uns klar, dass es eine echte Nachfrage auf dem Markt gab – und dass sie groß ist.

Beflügelt von dieser Resonanz gestaltete Ade den YarnArm neu, nachdem er sich über die Anforderungen an das Spritzgussdesign informiert hatte, um ihn günstiger und einfacher in Serie produzieren zu können. Die neue Version ließ sich flach verpacken und sehr schnell und einfach zusammenbauen. Als ein Freund ihm einen hochwertigen 3D-Drucker anbot, fuhr Ade neun Stunden hin und zurück, um ihn abzuholen. Der daraus resultierende Prototyp sah nun wie ein serienreifes kommerzielles Produkt aus.

Begeisterte Reaktionen auf der Wollmesse

Eine Idee auf der h+h 2025

Endlich hatten wir Erfolg bei unseren direkten Gesprächen mit britischen Händlern. Die Geschäftsführerin von Habico in Leeds, die wunderbare Rachal Boxall, gab uns Ratschläge, die zu Kontakten im Ausland führten, und Ende 2024 standen wir in Verhandlungen mit einem taiwanesischen Produzenten. In dieser Phase dachten wir, dass wir uns selbst an die Herstellung wagen müssten. So trafen wir also Vorbereitungen für die Organisation der Produktion und des Vertriebs. Der Produzent fertigte eine Form an, produzierte eine kleine Anzahl von Mustern und lud uns zur großen Handarbeitsmesse h+h im März 2025 in Köln ein.

Das Feedback von Einzelhändlern, Händlern und sogar dem Flugpersonal auf Hinflug war erfreulich positiv. Die Leute machten Fotos. Hersteller stellten Fragen. Der YarnArm nun mehr als eine Idee geworden – er war ein echtes Produkt, für das sich mehrere große Hersteller auf der Messe sehr interessierten.
Unter ihnen war auch addi – mit dem wir im Mai 2025 voller Freude einen Lizenzvertrag abschlossen.

Fazit von Louise und Adrian

Die pure Freude einer guten Idee

Rückblickend erscheint es mir immer noch ein wenig surreal, dass die Geschichte, die im Bus mit wegrollenden Wolle begann, in weniger als zehn Monaten zu einem echten Produkt geworden ist. Keiner von uns hatte vor, Erfinder zu werden; wir wollten einfach das Handarbeiten ein bisschen angenehmer machen.
Aber als wir sahen, wie nützlich der YarnArm ist – und wie begeistert andere Stricker*innen und Häkler*innen darauf reagierten – konnten wir das Projekt nicht mehr loslassen.

Es war eine Mischung aus Neugier, Hartnäckigkeit, Begeisterung und Glück und eine Erinnerung daran, dass die besten Ideen manchmal im Alltag entstehen und aus dem Selbstvertrauen, zu denken: „Eigentlich … könnte das etwas sein.“
Dieses Jahr kehren wir zur h+h zurück, diesmal als Gäste von addi, um den offiziellen addiYarnArm vorzustellen und vorzuführen. Wir können es kaum erwarten!

Kissen Häkeln

How it works

Notes on the instructions:

Das Kissen wird in einem Stück in Reihen gehäkelt, man wendet nach jeder Reihe. Anf-Lm zählen nie als M und werden immer in der Farbe A gehäkelt. Wenn man die Reihen 43 bis 98 (Bereich der Tapestry-Technik) arbeitet, wechselt man die Farbe immer in der letzten M der gerade benutzten Farbe: Man macht den letzten U des letzten hStb in der neuen Farbe und zieht ihn hindurch. Die ungenutzte Farbe wird mitgenommen und durch die M der benutzen Farbe eingeschlossen. Die Möhrenblätter werden gehäkelt, nachdem der Bereich in der Tapestry-Technik fertig ist.

Step 1

Kissen häkeln

Mit der Farbe A 113 Lm anschlagen.

Rd 1: 1 hStb in die 3. Lm von der Nadel aus (die Anf-2-Lm zählen nicht als M), je 1 hStb in jede M bis zum Ende. [111 hStb]
Rd 2: 2 Lm (zählen nie als M), je 1 hStb in jede M bis zum Ende, wenden.
Rd 3-42: Die Reihe 2 wh. Die Farbe B wird ab dem Anfang der Reihe 43 mitgeführt, siehe Häkelschrift 1: Häkelmuster- Farbe A abschneiden, nur mit Farbe B weiterstricken

Rd 43: Mit der Farbe A 2 Lm, 4 hStbA, viermal: (7 hStbB, 8 hStbA, 1 hStbB, 8 hStbA), 7 hStbB, 4 hStbA.
Rd 44: 2 Lm, 3 hStbA, viermal: (9 hStbB, 7 hStbA, 1 hStbB, 7 hStbA), 9 hStbB, 3 hStbA.

Rd 65-67: 2 Lm, 4 hStbA, viermal: (7 hStbB, 17 hStbA), 7 hStbB, 4 hStbA.
Rd 68-92: Die Reihen 43 bis 67 wh. Hinweis: VS und RS sind vertauscht, gerade Reihen sind VS, ungerade sind RS.
Rd 93-98: Die Reihen 43 bis 48 wh. Hinweis: VS und RS sind vertauscht, ungerade Reihen sind VS, gerade sind RS. Die Farbe B abschneiden, weiter nur mit der Farbe A arbeiten.
Rd 99-140: 2 Lm, je 1 hStb in jede M bis zum Ende.

Mit diesem Faden das Blatt durch die 3. Lm festnähen, den Faden vernähen. Dies für die restlichen 22 Möhren wiederholen.

Step 3

To Finsih

Auf die RS schauen, 30 cm oder 42 Reihen von oben zur Mitte und 30 cm oder 42 Reihen von unten zur Mitte falten (das überlappt sich um ca. 20 cm).

Die Seitennähte feststecken und zusammennähen, dabei darauf achten, dass in dem überlappenden Mittelstück alle Lagen erfasst werden, alle Fäden vernähen.

Stockinette stitch: 23 sts x 34 rows = 10×10 cm (4x4") using 3.50 mm needles

Size

Width x height: 150 cm x 51 cm (59" x 20")

Adjust the size: Correct the number of stitches when casting on +4 sts or -4 sts. The length of the stole can be adjusted as desired. Please note that you may need more or less yarn.

This is how it works:

The beautiful color gradient of the stole is created by combining two yarns. Lang Yarns Zen (wool, alpaca, and silk) in cream white is combined with various harmonious colors of Lang Yarns Belle (viscose and cotton).

This creates a cozy scarf with a gentle color gradient.

Tip: You can try out different wrapping combinations to find the right color gradient combination.

Step 1:

Cast on stole Tilda

291 sts cast on with two strands.

Row 1: p3 // place SM // k all sts to 3 sts before end // place SM // k3 (WS)
Row 2: sl 3 plw // k all sts until 3 sts before end // k3 (RS)
Row 3: sl 3 plw // k6, 14x (M1L, k19), M1L, k7 // k3 (=300sts)

Video tutorial: Cast on by Alexstrickt (german) long tail cast on with two strands (e.g., for a high number of stitches)

Step 2

Now switch to the Tilda pattern:

Row 1: sl 3 plw // *p, k3* // k3
Row 2: sl 3 plw // *p2, k1, p1* // k3
Row 3: sl 3 plw // *k2, p1, k1* // k3
Row 4: sl 3 plw // *k1, p3* // k3
Repeat these 4 rows continuously.

Work to your desired height (e.g., 50 cm/19.5") and work R2 or R4 to finish.

Step 3

Finish

Row 1: sl 3 plw // k5, 14x (k2tog, k18),k2tog, k6 // k3r (= 291sts)
Row 2: sl 3 plw // k all // k3
Row 3: sl 1 plw, p2tog // rep SM // k all // rep SM // k2tog, k1

Cast off all stitches loosely.
Tip for easy, loose casting off: Use a slightly larger knitting needle.

Cut yarn and weave in ends .
Wash the stole and dry flat, pulling it into shape slightly.

Step 3

Finish

Row 1: sl 3 plw // k5, 14x (k2tog, k18),k2tog, k6 // k3r (= 291sts)
Row 2: sl 3 plw // k all // k3
Row 3: sl 1 plw, p2tog // rep SM // k all // rep SM // k2tog, k1

Cast off all stitches loosely.
Tip for easy, loose casting off: Use a slightly larger knitting needle.

Cut yarn and weave in ends .
Wash the stole and dry flat, pulling it into shape slightly.

Tip 2: The cardigan is knitted from the top down, with 3 strands of Lace held together throughout.

Step 1

How to do it: Knitting a wrap jacket

The wrap jacket is knitted from top to bottom. First, knit the neckline, then pick up stitches for the round yoke. Continue knitting everything together before separating the sleeves, back and front.

NECKBAND

Cast on 9 sts with US 7 (4.5mm) needles and 3 strands of yarn.
Work Garter st for 49/50/51/52 rows and leave the sts.
Pick up 9 sts along the cast-on edge. Work Garter st for 50/51/52/53 rows.

YOKE

Now directly along the side of the neckband pick up 49/50/51/52 sts (= 1 st every 2 rows), work the 9 sts of the other end in pattern = 67/68/69/70 sts. 67/68/69/70 M.
Turn and work back as follows (WS): k1 (edge st), k8 (Garter st), place marker, yo, p17, pfb 15/16/17/18 times, p17, yo, place marker, k8 (Garter st), k1 (edge st) = 84/86/88/90 sts. = 84/86/88/90 M.
Now inc either side of the 2 markers by the neck: on RS knit through the back of the yarn over (then on subsequent rows work this st in Stockinette), on WS work a yo.
Rep the 2 rows of the inc 48/50/52/54 times. - Arrange pattern as follows: k1 (edge st), 8 sts Garter st, 1 st Stockinette (to begin with), 2 sts Raglan inc, 13 sts Stockinette (to begin with), 2 sts Raglan inc, 30/32/34/36 sts Stockinette (to begin with), 2 sts Raglan inc, 13 sts Stockinette (to begin with), 2 sts Raglan inc, 1 st Stockinette (to begin with), 8 sts Garter st, k1 (edge st).
The number of Stockinette sts will increase each time you work the Raglan inc. After 54/57/60/63 rows, from beginning of neckband, you will have 280/294/306/320 sts. Leave the sts as follows: front 55/58/60/63 sts, sleeve 51/53/55/57 sts, back 68/72/76/80 sts, sleeve 51/53/55/57 sts, front 55/58/60/63 sts. = 280/294/306/320 M.

Tip 3: Removing the neckline: At both marks in the row on the front, knit the U sts together (continue knitting these sts in pattern II), in the row on the back, knit 48x/50x/52x/54×1 U sts.

Divide the stitches:

Front section 55/58/60/63 M
Sleeves 51/53/55/57 sts
Back section 68/72/76/80 sts
Sleeves 51/53/55/57 sts
Front piece 55/58/60/63 sts.

Now place the stitches for the sleeves onto separate circular needles. All other stitches remain together in the order of the division at the top of a circular needle. The sleeves and body are now knitted separately.

Step 2

Sleeves of the wrap jacket

Both sleeves are now placed on separate needles and knitted separately from the body.

Tip: Small diameters can be knitted using a 40 cm circular knitting needle, a long circular knitting needle with Magic Loop, the addiCraSyTrio or double-pointed needles.

With US 7 (4.5mm) needles, continue working 51/53/55/57 sts for first sleeve. Work Stockinette (k on RS, p on WS) for 8/10/12/14 rows, increasing at the end of every row: work to the last st kfb – 1 st increased. Rep inc 8/10/12/14 times. When all increases have been completed you aill have = 59/63/67/71 M.
Now with US 7 (4.5mm) short circular needle or double-pointed needles, close to work in the rnd.
Place a marker for beginning of rnd (= underarm) and work Stockinette st in the round (k all sts).
When you have worked in the rnd for 15“/14½“/14¼“/13¾“ (38/37/36/35 cm) change to US 6 (4mm) double-pointed needles. Dec 15 sts evenly over the next rnd, work Rib st in the rnd with 44/48/52/56 sts: *p1, k1, rep from * around. When ribbing measures 2¼” (6 cm) loosely bind off all sts in pattern.
