Personalised gifting
Nobody wakes up wanting a crocheted heart. They want to mark two years together, or tell a friend six time zones away that today was hard. Tell us the occasion and the palette, size, card and packaging follow from it.
Cotton is the second anniversary gift — ours comes with the date stitched in.

Every design exists as a finished keepsake and as a kit. A blended basket sits around $38 — one heart for them, one kit for you.
A palm-sized crocheted heart in signature coral merino, hand-finished with a hanging loop so it can live on a door handle, a rear-view mirror or a nursery wall.
Our smallest heart, worked in undyed ivory cotton. Slips into an envelope with a handwritten note — the one people keep in a drawer for years.
Three mini hearts in coral, ivory and blush — one to keep, two to give. Made for long-distance friendships and first days at a new school.
Everything for your first crocheted heart: pre-wound coral yarn, an ergonomic 4 mm hook, stitch markers and a photo guide that assumes you have never held a hook before.
A five-heart garland kit in a graded coral-to-ivory palette, with waxed cotton cord and wooden beads. Designed for mantelpieces, cribs and wedding backdrops.
Our premium kit: a full-size heart plus an embroidery pack to stitch any initial into the front, with an alphabet chart and a linen gift box to present it in.
Sample catalogue for launch. Illustrations are drawn in-house — each one shows the exact product it belongs to.
Why Yarn Hearts
Marketplace sellers, kit brands and craft clubs each solve one half of this. We built the four things that fall between them.
Every heart is built around a moment — a date, an initial, a nursery palette. You pick the occasion first and we assemble the product around it, instead of asking you to guess from a grid of listings.
Marketplace sellers sell objects. We sell the moment the object is for.
The same heart exists as a finished keepsake at $18–25 and as a DIY kit at $45–60. Buy it made when the post office is closing in an hour; craft it yourself when the making is the gift.
Kit brands only sell kits. Craft shops only sell finished pieces.
Our stitch library is drawn in-house — the ridged edging, the graded garland, the monogram chart. Each pattern is tested by six makers before it ships, and rewritten until all six finish it.
Free patterns are everywhere. Patterns that reliably work are not.
One price in your currency, duties included, with a printed pattern in the box so nothing depends on a download link. No surprise checkout maths at the last step.
Cross-border craft shopping is where most gift orders quietly fail.

How it works
An anniversary, a new baby, a friend three time zones away. The occasion decides the palette, the size and the card that goes in the box.
Take the finished heart, hand-crocheted in our studio, or the kit with the yarn, hook and pattern to make it yourself.
Linen box, tissue, handwritten card, duties paid. Send it to your door or straight to theirs — we never include a price anywhere.
No half-finished promise and no missing hook. Every DIY kit lands with enough yarn to make the piece twice, because the second attempt is part of learning.
Makers & gifters
Sample testimonials shown while we gather the first wave of real ones.
I had never held a crochet hook. The first kit gave me a finished heart in one evening, and my mum still has it on her bookshelf.
Marisol Vance
First-time maker
We ordered forty garland hearts for the ceremony. They arrived in our exact palette, a week early, with a spare in every box.
Theo Almeida
Wedding planner
The monogram kit is the only craft project I have ever finished. The chart is genuinely written for people who get lost.
Priya Raman
Weekend crafter
I send pocket hugs to my daughter at university every term. She says they smell like home, which I choose to believe.
