Wondering where the price comes from?
There’s a little more to handmade pricing than yarn + a crochet hook! 🧶
Your price reflects the materials, time, skill and care that go into creating each one-of-a-kind piece — so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Materials 🧶
Not all yarn is created equal!
Wool and cotton can cost considerably more than acrylic, and the fibre we choose depends on the look, feel and purpose of each piece. Different fibres have different personalities — just like crochet itself!
Labour ✋
Every piece is made by hand, one stitch at a time.
The time involved depends on the size, design and complexity of your item. While labour is an important part of the price, it’s often only a fraction of the total cost.
Your finished piece isn’t just yarn — it’s materials, time, skill and a whole lot of love.
