Join Us in Crocheting for the World Wildlife Fund

Take action for nature! Yarnplaza and Happy Handmade Living are joining forces for the World Wildlife Fund. Discover in this blog how you can use your crocheting hobby to make the world a little more beautiful and cleaner.

The Earth is one of our most precious treasures. So let’s be kind to it and take better care of nature. We recently introduced our sustainable product line. By choosing “Green” products from this category, you can enjoy your hobby in a sustainable way. Today, we’re taking it a step further and joining forces with Lisanne Multem of Happy Handmade Living to support the World Wildlife Fund. Read all about the Happy Handmade Bag below and join us!


Crochet the Happy Handmade Bag and support the WWF


Plastic. It’s one of the biggest sources of ocean pollution. Did you know that a plastic bag is used for an average of 15 minutes, but it takes 20 years for it to break down in nature? As a result, plastic accumulates in the ocean, and every year 100,000,000 animals die because they get entangled or their stomachs are filled with plastic. The World Wildlife Fund is taking action against the plastic soup, and we’d like to do our part.

In collaboration with Lisanne Multem of Happy Handmade Living, we are therefore launching the Happy Handmade Bag. With this, we’re tackling the plastic waste crisis in several ways. First of all, because this crocheted market bag replaces the plastic shopping bag. Second, because Yarnplaza donates €2.50 to the World Wildlife Fund for every kit or pattern sold (campaign runs through December 31, 2021). Plus, this bag is a joy to crochet, making it a win-win-win situation.

Order your Happy Handmade Bag Crochet Kit or Crochet Pattern


What do you need to do to support the WWF? It's very simple: just order the Happy Handmade Bag Crochet Kit or Crochet Pattern, and we'll automatically donate €2.50 to the World Wildlife Fund.

The Happy Handmade Crochet Kit is available in four different color combinations that, quite fittingly, are inspired by the colors of the ocean. These are Jade Gravel & Aventurine, Cream & Aventurine, Ice Blue & Glass, and Glass & Aventurine.

A shopping bag for everyone


Of course, we want everyone to be able to crochet a trendy market bag like this and make the world a more beautiful place. That’s why Lisanne used only the basic stitches: chain stitches, single crochets, slip stitches, and double crochets. The pattern also includes clear photo instructions, so crochet enthusiasts of all skill levels can get started on the Happy Handmade Bag. In addition to the kit or pattern plus yarn, you’ll need a 4.5 mm and a 6 mm Crochet Hook, a pair of scissors, and a darning needle for this bag. And, of course, a dose of enthusiasm.

On behalf of Yarnplaza and the World Wildlife Fund, thank you in advance.
