Hand-knitted traditional wear for Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest without traditional costume? Not with us! The right outfit belongs at every folk festival just like presents belong to a birthday. For stylish women, a dirndl is traditionally a must. Of course, there are also wonderful alternatives such as lederhosen or leather skirts. Elegant traditional blouses also look enchanting combined with jeans or fabric trousers. Men love wearing smart shirts - checked or plain - with their lederhosen. But that is far from all: accessories such as traditional jewellery, hats and, of course, braided hairstyles help give your outfit an extra cosy, rustic and traditional look. The real eye-catcher, however, is handmade knitwear: socks, jackets, bags and accessories that make your Oktoberfest look truly personal.

What must not be missing alongside your traditional socks is a cosy, warming traditional jacket. When the mood rises and the evening grows longer, it is always good to be prepared for the cooler hours. We even have two models for you as free patterns on our website. The first traditional jacket impresses with its simple design and can be combined with many outfits. We knitted the plain-coloured model with contrasting button bands and cuffs from our hard-wearing Tiroler Landwolle.
For everyone who likes something a little more playful, there is another design with lovely traditional details.

That special something: simply make traditional bags yourself

Of course, we also have the matching shoulder bag for you. It also shines with its checked look and an edelweiss detail. Oh! We love both models. They not only look wonderful together, but also work beautifully on their own. Fact is: no matter how you wear your unique pieces, they will certainly make your traditional outfit something very special.
Last but not least: with us, something sweet is not only for dessert. We also have the traditional gingerbread heart as a shoulder bag. Perfect for everyone with a sweet tooth. How is this felted bag made? Knit, felt and wear with pride.

What makes our traditional costume yarn special?

"Because you are so beautiful, my Tyrolean land." That is how an old folk song goes. We can only agree. And not only the Tyrol region is beautiful - our Tiroler Landwolle is also a rustic highlight in our yarn range. With it, you bring the mountains and plenty of cosiness into your home! Look forward to the comfortable feel of your knitted or crocheted piece made from our classic 3-ply yarn with a high new-wool content.
When it comes to traditional costume, our Filzwolle uni is of course part of the story too. Its texture is a little more robust and is perfect for felted bags, accessories and decorations in traditional style.

Knit country-style interior decoration yourself

For folk festivals at home, hut-style fun at home or cosy country-style decoration all year round: have you already seen our cushion cover with cable pattern? The felted traditional-style design brings warmth and cosiness into your home. A classic, timeless design that also makes an ideal gift.
And then the fun can begin: there is hardly a nicer feeling than sitting together at the table in a beer tent, inn or beer garden and celebrating the atmosphere. Of course with the best brass-band music, crispy chicken, a cool fresh beer - and the best company around you. Cheers! To the folk festival feeling.

We would like to further support this campaign and will therefore donate for every green* sock yarn ordered from the Gründl online shop between February 4th and March 4th, 2025. 100% of the proceeds will go to the German Association for Gynecological Cancers (Verein für Gynäkologische Krebserkrankungen Deutschland e.V.).
