About

Hello, I'm Maya!

 


 

 

Yarn and Sew, sprang to life almost by accident, during procrastination from dissertation writing. I found myself on YouTube learning ‘How to crochet a hat for my cat’. Naturally, I quickly became OBSESSED and expanded my skills in knitting and sewing. My favourite type of crochet is freeform- so enjoy an attempt of a self-portrait using scrap yarn!

Crochet became an unexpected yet powerful therapeutic tool to get out of my head. It ignited a passion in me to share the joy and solace I found through 'mindful crafting'. My sentiment has been that I want to create safe and enjoyable spaces for different backgrounds and communities. The use of ethical yarns adds to this experience by knowing you are not only making something truly unique; you are supporting an ethical approach to textiles.
