Why Buying Ethical Crochet Matters
When it comes to purchasing crochet items, have you ever considered the impact of your choices on the people who make them? Ethical crochet is not just a trend, it's a movement towards a more sustainable and compassionate future.
If you are buying cheap crochet, its likely manufactured in a sweatshop for someone making pennies a day.
Why is Crochet Different?
Crochet CANNOT be made by a machine. Unlike sewing or knitting, crochet has too many unique motions in it to be mass produced and replicated by a machine. Every crochet piece you have ever seen is tirelessly hand stitched by a real human being. Most projects take upward of an hour each, so your purchase of cheap crochet is likely squeezing the artisan at the bottom, giving them only pennies for their tireless art production.
Supporting Artisans
By buying ethical crochet products, you are directly supporting artisans and craftsmen who put their heart and soul into creating each piece. Your purchase helps them sustain their livelihood and preserve traditional craftsmanship.
Quality and Longevity
Our crochet products are made of durable, higher quality materials, and our methodical work means greater attention to detail. This means that they are not only beautiful and unique but also durable and long-lasting. By choosing ethical crochet, you are investing in items that will stand the test of time, reducing the need for frequent replacements and ultimately saving resources.
Creating a Better World
Every time you choose to buy ethical crochet, you are making a conscious decision to support a more ethical and sustainable industry. Your actions have the power to create a ripple effect, inspiring others to make mindful choices and driving positive change in the world. Together, we can build a future where ethical practices are the norm, not the exception.
