Yarn

Amigurumi, a cherished Japanese craft, breathes life into crochet, transforming yarn into adorable, hand-sized creatures—from playful animals to imaginative characters. Rooted in the Japanese words "ami" (meaning crocheted or knitted) and "nuigurumi" (stuffed doll), amigurumi began as an accessible craft, using yarn scraps and cotton stuffing to create charming, affordable toys and decor.

Pragnya Parachure, founder of The Hobbyt, began her crochet journey crafting clothes, doilies, and home decor. But at The Hobbyt, she has embraced amigurumi to bring quirky creatures to life, each piece a colorful, unique personality in yarn. While the craft has grown to feature intricate designs and refined techniques, amigurumi’s heart remains the same: creating lovable, handmade treasures that carry the warmth of the artisan’s touch and add a dash of whimsy to any space.
