Sustainable crafting is evolving fast. Beyond organic cotton and recycled wool, a new wave of bio-based yarns is entering the scene – sourced from seaweed and mushrooms. 🌊🌱

Long before modern crochet patterns hit Instagram, crafters were creating intricate lace, bold textures, and breathtaking detail using techniques that are now almost forgotten. But these historic stitches are not outdated—they're timeless. Let's rediscover

Knitting needles instead of sheet music?
What sounds like a poetic metaphor is, in some artistic circles, a real and thriving concept. In certain experimental music projects, stitches are transformed into melodies, and patterns become compositions. Welcome to the world of knitted music!

What it really means and when it's worth using.

Flat crochet is nice – but textured stitches are where the fun begins! Whether you want to add dimension, create visual contrast, or simply give your project that "wow" effect, puff, popcorn, and bobble stitches are your secret weapons.

There's more to natural yarn than cotton and wool. Across cultures and continents, plant-based fibers like soy, lotus, and nettle have long traditions – and are now gaining attention in the sustainable craft movement. These fibers are vegan, biodegradable, and wonderfully unique in both feel and story.

Knitting is a hobby often associated with peace, mindfulness, and creativity. But what happens when you take it to an entirely different environment—like space? In 2015, the very first space knitting project was launched aboard the International Space Station (ISS). A true highlight for anyone who loves crafts with a twist!

We've all been there: You look down and realize a stitch has dropped, something's twisted, or a pattern row just doesn't look right. But don't panic – most knitting mishaps can be fixed without frogging your whole project.

Knitting is more than just a technique – it's a story made of loops, turns, and clacking needles.
From ancient Egyptian tombs to handmade socks with Fairtrade wool – each stitch carries a piece of the past.

Knitting is more than just a craft – especially for seniors. With age, fine motor skills may decline, routines become lonelier, and mental stimulation is needed more than ever. That's where knitting steps in – as a gentle yet powerful activity that brings movement, focus, and human connection.

Looking for a yarn that's eco-conscious, full of texture, and a little off the beaten path? Banana yarn might be your next fiber crush. Made from the stalks of banana plants, this unique material is strong, rustic, and sustainable – perfect for bold, practical projects.

Notebooks are charming – but let's be honest: our phones are always with us.
Luckily, there are tons of helpful apps that can support your knitting and crochet journey – from digital row counters to pattern editors, yarn databases, and even mobile community platforms.
