🌻 The Heart Behind YarnYummies

At YarnYummies, every stitch tells a story—one of friendship, nostalgia, and the simple joys of handmade treasures.

 

💛 How It All Started

I had no idea what amigurumi was until one day, while scrolling through Facebook, I came across the adorable crochet creations posted by an old friend and college classmate overseas. She had turned her passion for crochet into a small business, sharing her delightful handmade pieces online. Inspired by her talent and wanting to support her heartfelt endeavor, I frequently liked, commented, and admired her work from afar.

When a rare opportunity arose—a college reunion where a friend from California was traveling overseas to attend—I was able to order and receive the amigurumi pieces I had long admired. Though I couldn’t be there in person, my heart was present in the act of supporting my friend.

 

The moment the Christmas ornaments arrived, I was in awe. The delicate craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the warmth of handmade artistry brought me so much joy. I realized I had done more than support a friend—I had rediscovered a part of myself. The pieces took me back to my childhood in grade six, when I first learned how to crochet in home economics class, making a doily and a pair of baby shoes. Though I knew I could crochet again, my fast-paced suburban life near NYC left me with little time for such creative endeavors.

 

It dawned on me:

  • 💡 I wasn’t alone. There must be others who appreciate the beauty of handmade products but lack the time or skill to create them.
  • 🎁 I could bring joy to others by offering these unique, artisan-made pieces as gifts or personal keepsakes.

And so, YarnYummies was born—a store dedicated to sharing the happiness and charm of handmade amigurumi with the world.

 

🐾 Our Passion & Purpose
