About Crochet by Laura McDonald

Custom made crochet made with love and care

My name is Laura and I love to crochet! I started about 20 years ago and I love taking some wool and making something from it.
I love to make toys and my favourite yarn to use is chenille yarn, I love how fluffy and soft it is.

All of my makes have been CE tested and I make sure that I take time to make sure that everything is perfect before it goes to its new home.

My favourite thing to make in the winter are blankets, I love watching them grow until they are big enough to keep me warm. A big blanket is like a hug and using soft yarn is the best way to achieve this.

I work on a make-to-order basis and any of my makes can be customised to suit your particular need or preference. Please get in touch if there is anything that you would like me to make for you.

I use high-quality yarns in my work such as Stylecraft Special double knit or aran for my blankets and infinity scarves. For my toys, I like to use King Cole Yummy or Cygnet Jellybaby.

For my shawls, I love to use Schjeepes Whirls which is a delicate 4-ply yarn with gorgeous colour changes.

I have recently just released my first pattern and kit for complete beginners to make a bee from chenille yarn. This is available in 3 different colour options and is perfect for a beginner. My detailed YouTube videos will walk you through making the bee from start to finish.

Please get in touch if you see anything you like.
