LoveCrafts, a global community for makers
Crafting is so much more than making. It's the connection between like-minded souls, it’s learning new skills and sharing your passion. It's that fuzzy feeling from making something with your own hands. It’s pure joy. And it’s the reason LoveCrafts exists.
The making of LoveCrafts
LoveCrafts began way back in 2012. First came LoveKnitting, and we loved it so much we created another yarny home, LoveCrochet, in 2015. Today, LoveCrafts is home to a wonderful community of happy crafters all around the world. Knitters, crocheters, sewists, scrapbookers, quilters, embroiders, and our little-bit-of-everything hobbyists, all united by the joy of making.
We believe the joy of making is for everyone, from every culture and community. We may all be in different places, but as we like to say, together we make."
Take a trip back to 2012, and three big dreamers, Edward, Cherry and Nigel, had an idea. After seeing the makers in their lives struggle to find all their craft inspiration and materials in one place, they decided to change this. They set out to build a shiny new online home for makers - a place for crafters to feel inspired, connected, and find every little thing they need. LoveCrafts was born.
First came LoveKnitting, our first, by no means only, love. The following year, we had a UK warehouse, some brave suppliers and a few more dreamers. By 2014, we had a US warehouse, customers in 97 countries, a designer patterns marketplace with 33k patterns, a new London office, and 50 people. Fast-forward to 2015 LoveCrafts had launched in Germany and ventured into new craft territory with LoveCrochet, and after that, we opened a 50 person office in Ukraine and a satellite office in New York.
In the summer of 2019, we joined our family of crafts, LoveKnitting and LoveCrochet, together under one roof - LoveCrafts. We know so many of you knitters and crocheters love to do more than one craft, so we thought it was about time to combine all our crafting love into one cosy craft room - LoveCrafts.com
We’re growing like super chunky yarn on giant knitting needles, and we’re not slowing down.
