Welcome to Umbrella Crochet. I'm Orcun, and I run this shop here in the UK. My sisters in Türkiye, where we grew up, make every piece you'll find here.
Our story starts in childhood. We spent afternoons trying to crochet characters: a wonky bear, a tiny fox, a doll with more hair than sense. There was never enough yarn for everything we wanted to make, so one of our first bears ended up with only one leg. We loved it anyway. It taught us that a little imagination can make up for a lot of missing yarn. Those games never really stopped. Over the years, my sisters built real skill and their own styles, and their work became more and more professional.
When our family moved to the UK, crochet came with us. It reminded us of home and of the time we spent together, and it still does.
Crochet has always been more than toys for us. Today our range includes cardigans, bags, hairclips, flowers, and much more. Each collection is different, but they all come from the same hands and the same care. That's why we named the shop Umbrella Crochet: we wanted to bring all of these pieces together under one big umbrella.
Made with care, and made to be safe Every piece is made from 100% cotton yarn, which is soft on the skin, gentle for sensitive little ones, and easy to care for. Our toys have safety-locked eyes, securely fixed so they can't come loose, and they meet UKCA toy safety standards.
Every item is handmade, slowly and carefully, so no two pieces are exactly alike. Please wash at [temperature, e.g. 30°C] and lay flat to dry to keep the shape.
Thank you for supporting a small family business.
