Frequently asked questions

What does your shop specialize in?

We crochet toys with playing intent, decorative toys, rattles, teethers, baby mobiles, nursing necklaces.

What yarns do you use to crochet your toys and baby toys(rattles, teethers)?

Our toys are split in two categories: decorative and for playing intent. We usually use acrylic yarns to crochet decorative ones, and organic cotton yarns to crochet toys with playing intent. As a rule we purchase yarns from 'Alize' company.

Where did you take the pattern to create your toys?

Our toys are created and designed by our handmaders. Of course there is a grain of inspiration by other crochet and soft toys making masters, but the final idea belong to us.

What do you fill your crochet toys with?What is your secret ingridient?

Usually we use synthetic fluff for decorative toys and hollow-fiber for toys with playing intent. Hollow-fiber stuffing is an antiallergenic filler that is widely used: from stuffing for pillows to stuffing of soft toys. If you looked through our shop, you've probably noticed that our toys have perfect 'round' shapes. A lot of round shapes are used to give the toys a perfect symmetry. Usually we use wooden beads, ping-pong balls and drumroll foam stress ball, that is benefifical for so many purposes.

Wholesale availability

Read description. There are certain toys available for wholesale. It is indicated in the category material and description.

What are crochet toys with foam stress ball beneficial for?What is fine motor skills?

First of all those toys that have foam stress ball have the same benefits the usual stress ball have. By squeezing repetitively the toy, babies and children can develop fine motor skills. Toys with stress ball can ameliorate blood pressure condition, are beneficial for arthritis. Our crochet toys help release stress and calm down. Toys help children with ADD and autism focus to perform daily tasks.
Fine motor skills define smaller movements in hands, fingers, wrists. Repetitive squeezing of the toy improve muscles in the hand and fingers, strengthens hand grip and develop wrist movement.

Do you send to other shipping addresses, except to one indicated?

No, as it breaches Etsy's rules We send to the address indicated in the order.

How to take care of the toys?

Read the description on each listing. As a rule toys crocheted with acrylic yarns prefer dry-cleaning. Toys with playing intent can be put in a washing machine at 40 degree, without worrying that it will deteriorate, lose shape or brightness of color.

Are there any contraindications?

Please, read the description careful. As it was mentioned there are toys for decorative purposes, that might contain wiress, and other removal parts. For same reason watch out the age recommendation. For some toys we use sewn safety eyes(made of felt) for others beads or buttons (this can be customised).
In general out toys are well crocheted, long-lasting and resistant to rough playing, such as tugging, biting.

Why doesn't my toy look exactly as in the picture?

Our toys are made to order. This is something you're being warned it every listing, and there is a reason for it. First of all, each toy is handmade, thus can not be same as the one in picture.
Your toy in newer than the one on the photo. We constantly improve the design and quality of our toys, thus you might notice small updates here and there.
The color of the toy might differ, because of technical differences in devices. Or there might be a real difference, caused by supplier. What, I mean is supplier can offer different shade of the same color. That is something we can't influence.
The toy is crocheted with melange yarns. Melange from French means blend. It is a blend of different colors, and the yarns can differently 'cover' the toy.

Can you crochet from photo?

Yes , we can create custom items based on the photo alone.
