can someone help me identify the type of yarn and where to source it?

I’ve been doing crochet for a while but I’m still a beginner so I’m still working with 99 rs cheap acrylic yarn from my local store but I think I’m finally at a point where I’m comfortable with making small projects like keychains, pouches etc and I do want to start making nicer quality stuff and I really like the look of this softer looking yarn I always see on Pinterest.

What type of yarn is it? Is it available in India (I’m in Bangalore)? And how expensive is it roughly

Advice pls

Guysss I need advice. I’m crocheting a stole (scarf). It’s my first big crochet project. I am using 100% cotton yarn in grey colour. I was initially planning to do the entire store in the same grey colour, but I do have a contrast sky blue yarn that I can use, maybe just like a hint of blue in the grey stole, will it look good??? 🤔
Even if I use the blue, I wanted to be just a hint, so maybe I’ll do a slip stitch? So at the end, there are maybe three or maximum of four blue rows going through it?? 😕
But be honest, does it look like one of the stretchy belts right now??? is the scarf going to look very weird when I finish it. I’m doing a double crochet back loop only.
I want the scarf to be light and flowy in the end. Help me with all of your knowledge. Please 🙏 🧶 🫠

Tried my hand at Mosaic Crochet

I am almost a beginner to crochet and wanted to challenge myself with a mosaic pattern to make an iPad pouch. It was a bit nerve-wracking watching the color transitions unfold, but seeing the geometric shapes stack up at the end was so satisfying. How does it look?

Recently Made this shivji doll and cute little damru also

I made this little Shivji and his tiny damru ..

This one was completely made by looking at a reference picture no written pattern or tutorial...

The tiny damru was definitely one of my favourite parts to make.😭🤌 It’s always a little scary when I start something without a pattern because I never really know if it’s going to turn out the way I imagined, but seeing it all come together at the end was so satisfying.

Har Har mahadev and happy Sawan 😊

Need ideas for a crochet competition with only 1.5 hours!

​

Hey everyone!

I have a crochet competition coming up and we’ll only get 1 hour 30 minutes to make something.

I’m not a beginner, so I’m comfortable with more advanced stitches/techniques, but obviously I need something that can realistically be completed within the time limit.

What would you guys recommend making that could look impressive/competition-worthy while still being doable in 90 minutes?

I was thinking maybe a small amigurumi, bag/accessory, or something decorative, but I’m open to anything!

Would love some ideas from people who have done timed crochet challenges before 🥹🧶

Why are so many crochet businesses in India underpricing and killing the market?

I run a small crochet business in India and I’m genuinely exhausted.

The problem: There are now 100 sellers for every 10 buyers. Instagram, Etsy, Facebook groups, local exhibitions - everyone is selling crochet.

And the pricing???

I’m seeing:

- Handmade crochet tops: ₹499 - ₹799

- Amigurumi plushies: ₹250 - ₹400

- Crochet bags: ₹600 - ₹900

- Blankets: ₹1500 - ₹2500

Let’s do the math as an Indian business owner:

  1. Good cotton/milk cotton yarn: ₹250-₹400 per 100g. A top takes 2-3 skeins = ₹600-₹1000 just in yarn

  2. Time: 6-10 hours minimum. Even at ₹200/hr that’s ₹1200-₹2000 in labor

  3. Packaging, shipping, platform fees, GST if you’re registered

  4. My cost price itself comes to ₹1800-₹2500 for a top

So how are people selling for ₹699 with "free shipping"?

Answer: 90% of these sellers are hobbyists, students, or housewives who don’t count their time as money. "Arre yarn ka hi toh kharcha hai, baaki toh shauk se banaya". Or they’re using ₹99 acrylic yarn from local

My mom crochets to beat boredom and wants to make your custom requests! (Just cost of yarn + 30% + shipping) 🧶

Hi everyone!

My mom has been crocheting a lot lately to curb her boredom, and she is absolutely falling in love with the craft. She's been making lots of adorable little items (like the tiny sunhat keychain with the flower and pearls in the photo I attached) but there are only so many things we can keep around the house!

She genuinely just loves the process of making these and wants to keep her hands busy, so I'm helping her take on some little projects from anyone who might want one. We aren't trying to run a big business here, she just wants new things to create.

Here is how we're doing it:

  • She will make almost anything: If you have a specific request, she is completely down to try it! All she asks is that you share a YouTube tutorial video for the design you want, and she will follow along.
  • Super transparent pricing: Since her main motive is just the joy of making it, the price is simply the cost of the wool + a 30% markup (just a little something for her time/effort) + the shipping cost. That's it!

If you have a fun project in mind, want a cute accessory, or have seen a neat crochet tutorial online that you'd love brought to life, please send me a DM or leave a comment!

It would honestly make her day to have a new fun project to tackle. Thank you! ❤️
