How One Little Poncho Started It All

Hello and welcome - I'm Debbie, the founder and creative heart behind Weebits.

Weebits began with a single hand-knitted baby poncho I made for a newborn in 2008. I wasn’t exactly known for my knitting skills but with a bit of perseverance and a lot of encouragement - that little poncho sparked something special.  
A friend encouraged me to show it to a local boutique, and to my surprise, they loved it. This grew into something much bigger than I could have imagined and before I knew it, Weebits was born.

In the beginning, it was just my mum and I hand knitting every piece. We quickly realised we couldn’t keep up, but thanks to a wonderful group of knitters from Geraldine, we grew, adding new designs, beautiful colours, and partnering with a handful of lovely boutiques.       
  Soon, word spread overseas. Weebits found a home in the Netherlands which was so exciting for me as it was where my family was from. Next was London, and beyond. Weebits was featured in magazines across New Zealand, Australia, UK and The Netherlands. It was a whirlwind I never expected!

Even as we've grown, some things haven't changed. Every Weebits piece is still carefully knitted here in New Zealand, often taking up to two weeks to complete.

We use locally spun merino yarn from Woolyarns NZ - soft, natural, and kind to the earth. Wool is one of nature’s greatest gifts - renewable, compostable, and wonderfully long-lasting. We make our garments to be treasured, washed gently, and passed down through generations.

Thank you for being here and sharing in our story. I hope you find something truly special to love and cherish. 

Happy Shopping - Debbie x
