Dream Wool Shop Brings Kempen Community Together
In the heart of Kempen’s historic Altstadt, a new shop is weaving more than just yarn. “Wollke 6” is now open, offering a vibrant mix of mohair, alpaca, merino and cotton, stacked in colorful arrays across its shelves. The store isn’t just about selling wool—it’s about passion, creativity and community.
Nina Glombitza, the founder, turned a lifelong hobby into a dream business. She learned to knit at twelve from her grandmother and since then, knitting has been a constant in her life, whether on the bus, at the doctor’s office, or while listening to podcasts. Moving to Kempen in 2019, she initially put her dream on hold because the Altstadt already had two wool shops. But when one store began closing unexpectedly, she reached out to the owner and soon the opportunity was hers.
Glombitza personally renovated the two-level shop, moving the counter and creating a central space for a large communal table. A lower seating area offers comfort for companions of customers, making the space welcoming for everyone. Beyond the popular Lana Grossa label, the shop carries brands like Camarose, Atelier Zitron and Petite Knit, along with a wide range of needles, patterns and kits.

The goal is clear: Wollke 6 is more than a store—it’s a hub for creativity. From beginners to seasoned crafters, customers come for guidance, inspiration and connection. Many travel from neighboring towns, some visiting multiple times a week, sharing their finished projects with pride. From sweaters and socks to pillows, bags and even bikinis, the projects reflect the diverse creativity of the community. Spring brings a demand for cheerful colors—bright blues, raspberry reds, sunny yellows—bringing life and energy into the shop.
The shop also hosts monthly knitting meetups, already filling up quickly and plans are underway for workshops catering to both beginners and advanced knitters. Glombitza emphasizes that handcrafts foster connection and her store thrives on this social energy. The shop has quickly become a place where skills are shared, friendships are formed and creativity blossoms.
For Kempen and beyond, Wollke 6 shows how local businesses can strengthen community ties, encourage creativity and turn lifelong passions into meaningful ventures.
