About Us

Who is Agneta Engman?

Agneta was born in Sweden and came to live in the UK to learn English. Her upbringing in Sweden was a time filled with handicrafts and with the enjoyment of the Swedish countryside.

She always lived on the outskirts of town and therefore it was part of her way of life to spend many hours walking in forests, swimming in lakes and cycling along quiet country roads. From this childhood grew a love of nature and creation. At home, she learnt many handicrafts and hobbies, tatting, embroidery, knitting, crocheting, lacemaking, Näversöm and Tvistsöm.

Therefore it was only natural that the influence of her upbringing would create the fusion that is Agneta Engman Designs – the love of intricate and detailed needlework and the love of the countryside.
