New designs first
You get the pattern before it is published – free for testing.
Become a tester at Garnatelier
Knit or crochet new patterns by independent designers before they are released – and help them reach the shop without mistakes.
Our thank-you
After each finished test: a 10% coupon on yarn and accessories, valid for 90 days. Designers often gift you the finished pattern too.
You decide
You only apply for tests that suit you – craft, size, yarn weight and your time.
