our story

We are a happily married couple who have a great time crafting together! Our small business start-up class at the local community college set us on the path to share our favorite crafting methods with the w o r l d !

Like many beginning yarn crafters, we started by making hot pads, scarves, blankets, etc. When we found out that pixel art options are possible through the Corner to Corner (C2C) method, we couldn’t wait to give it a try! Now we offer kits to spread the exciting simplicity of pixel art yarn crafts!

My family started asking about making plushies with a style called amigurumi. I knew that I could do flat crafts, but I’d never tried a 3-dimensional project before. Naturally, the fear of having to learn new stitches sank in, but after a little research and practice, we were pleasantly surprised by the simplicity as well. Most of the projects are just single crochet stitches, so our kits are beginner-friendly.

It felt like a sucker punch when we learned that the acrylic yarns available in all our favorite stores are plastic-based, making them cancerous and contribute to ocean-bound micro-plastics when washed.

It took awhile, but we found natural-fiber yarns that are “OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Certified” meaning no harmful chemicals or substances are used in the manufacturing of our favorite eco-friendly yarn! Our yarns are tested for 350 harmful substances, and we are proud to support Tencel and cotton products.

It’s been a journey finding eco-friendly yarn. Our first attempt was with bamboo yarn, but we learned the process has more improvement to do. Bamboo made through the lyocell process is emerging, however, and we eagerly wait for them to offer more colors!
