Crocheting is full of curves, angles, and form – and at the heart of it all are increases and decreases. Whether you're shaping hats, amigurumi, garments, or accessories, mastering these techniques helps create clean, elegant transitions in your work.

It's more than just a hobby. More than creative time with needles and yarn. Regular handcrafting changes us – not just emotionally, but on a neurological level. It calms us, focuses us, and gives our thoughts direction.

You've got a beautiful skein of yarn in your hand – but now what? What should it become? Which colors go with it? Before diving into a new project, it's worth taking a moment to create a yarn moodboard – a creative and visual way to explore color ideas, textures, and inspiration. 🧶

Wool or cotton? Alpaca or linen? Choosing the right yarn goes far beyond personal preference or color. Each fiber comes with its own set of qualities that impact comfort, sustainability, care, skin compatibility and the crafting experience itself.

Structure meets airiness – in the most elegant way: Cables add depth and shape, while lace brings lightness and flow. When combined thoughtfully, they create a striking contrast that feels both modern and refined.

Sustainability isn't a trend – it's a mindset.
While organic cotton, hemp, and linen have become mainstays in eco-friendly yarn collections, new, exotic fibers are beginning to make waves. Among them: cactus yarn.

Sustainability is trending – but what does it really mean when it comes to yarn? Words like organic, eco, or recycled sound great, but not all green labels are what they seem. In this post, we take a closer look at what makes yarn truly sustainable – and how you can make better choices with confidence.

When it comes to spinning yarn, many think of the classic two-ply or three-ply approach. But there's a technique that offers something uniquely flexible, beautiful, and clever: Navajo Plying, also known as Chain Plying. It turns a single strand into a perfectly balanced 3-ply yarn – no extra bobbins required. ✨

Amigurumi is more than just a trend – it's a creative playground of tiny stitches with big personality. Whether cute, quirky, or delightfully spooky, crochet figures come in all shapes and styles.

Fun Fact: Thermochromic yarn was originally developed in the 1980s for swimwear. With exposure to UV light or heat, it changes color—perfect for self-knitted summer accessories that "glow" in sunlight and fade in the shade.

Chunky is the new classy!
What was once considered bulky or clumsy is now bold, stylish, and surprisingly comforting. Thick yarns, oversized stitches, and quick projects are not just trending – they're part of a creative movement that values impact, mindfulness, and cozy aesthetics.

If you've ever knitted socks, sleeves, or beanies, you know: circular knitting can be surprisingly tricky. The cable twists, the double-pointed needles (DPNs) slip, and suddenly there's a gap at the beginning of the round. 😖
