About Relooped by You – From Drawing to Custom Knitted Scarves and Throw Blankets
What is Relooped by You?
We are a design studio that transforms personal drawings and photos into custom knitted scarves and blankets. From children’s drawings to illustrations or photographs, every design is specially knitted for you in organic cotton within a transparent EU-based production process.
We create scarves, throw blankets, and photo blankets from your own design, fully custom-made and knitted stitch by stitch. This is not printed fabric, but real knitwear where your idea is transformed into a soft, wearable object.
Whether you want to create a scarf from your own drawing or are looking for a unique knitted blanket as a meaningful gift, every project starts with your creativity.
Our story
How Relooped by You Started
In 2017, Relooped by You co-founder and fashion designer Špela had a simple but powerful idea: to show her young children how clothing is made and teach them to appreciate and care more consciously about the things they own through a creative project at home.
The twins, Ariane and Tilen, each drew their perfect scarf. With help from their mother, they knitted their drawings into real wearable scarves on a knitting machine, scarves that looked just as special as those from a fashion store.
But these were different. They were 100% unique, their own artworks signed with their first names.
The children proudly wore their handmade scarves until they eventually outgrew them. That moment grew into a bigger idea: making it possible for anyone to transform their own drawing into a custom knitted scarf or blanket.
Imagination transformed into a soft story with a touch of magic.
The People behind Relooped by You
Relooped by You was founded by Špela and Andreas Tabak.
Špela has more than fifteen years of professional experience as a knitwear designer and spent many years developing her own knitwear label, exploring knitting as a form of artistic expression.
Andreas is an interface designer and also works with pixel art. His fascination with digital structures, grid-based imagery and patterns connects naturally with translating drawings into knitting patterns.
Together, they developed a system that transforms personal drawings stitch by stitch into unique knitted products.
Relooped by You operates between the Netherlands and Slovenia, where they live and work with their twins.
Our mission
❝Let us immerse ourselves in art and creativity to encourage independent thinking, so we can remain ourselves instead of becoming more like the crowd.❞
Our impact
Creativity is not a luxury.
It is a fundamental human need.
When a personal drawing is transformed into a tangible object, something changes. Recognition. Pride and connection. A simple idea becomes real. A gesture becomes visible and a relationship takes shape.
Some designs are created by one person, others by a child or by several children together. Sometimes an entire family or group of friends collaborates on one shared idea.
Often, these designs mark an important moment in life: a birth, birthday, anniversary, farewell or simply a way of saying: I’m thinking of you.
This is how creativity connects people.
Drawing together, choosing colours together and shaping a design together turns an object into more than just a product. It becomes a meaningful and tangible keepsake.
In a world that increasingly feels fast and anonymous, we consciously choose the opposite. We slow down the process and invite people to participate. You do not need to be a designer and you do not need technical knowledge. You only need an idea.
We believe sustainability is not only about materials, but also about meaning. When something feels personal, it is treasured and kept. It is not simply thrown away.
That is why we knit our personalized scarves and blankets exclusively on demand.
Made from responsibly produced organic cotton within a transparent and local production chain in the EU.
Every piece is made for one specific person. Never for the masses.
Our mission is simple:
We connect people through creativity and knit stories into objects that last.
People & Planet First verified for responsible production, sustainable materials and long-lasting designs.
From your idea to a custom knitted scarf or throw blanket
What begins as a drawing or photograph is translated stitch by stitch into a unique knitting pattern. Not a print on fabric, but real knitwear where colour, texture and detail come together. Every design is knitted to order in organic cotton within a transparent production chain in the EU.
SOFT KNITS
Your scarf or throw blanket is knitted from natural cotton yarns. Because cotton is breathable, you can wear or use your unique piece all year round.
KNITTED WITH ORGANIC COTTON
Caring for our planet starts with the right materials. That’s why we knit with 100% organic cotton, certified by GOTS. Our yarns are produced in Italy and are of the highest quality, soft, durable and completely free from harmful substances.
WITH LOVE FOR DETAIL
All Relooped by You accessories are locally produced within the EU. Our scarves and throw blankets are carefully knitted in a knitting studio in Slovenia by craftspeople who truly care about their craft.
