Our Story
By Luanda was born from a deep love for slow craftsmanship, tactile warmth, and the quiet joy of watching a simple skein of yarn become a garment you will wear for years.
From a single wooden hook to a global community.
What started at a kitchen table with thrifted cotton yarn and a handmade birch hook grew into an obsession with creating modern, wearable silhouettes. Traditional crochet had plenty of doilies, but I craved modern drape, effortless cardigans, and structured totes that felt elevated and timeless.
Mindful designs with beginner-friendly clarity.
Pattern frustration should never stop anyone from enjoying fiber art. That is why every single By Luanda pattern undergoes multi-stage testing with real crocheters. We obsess over row-by-row counts, crystal-clear color photography, stitch anatomy diagrams, and made-to-measure sizing guidance so your piece fits you like a glove.
Crafting something uniquely yours.
Crochet is personal. When you pick up your hook, you are continuing an ancient rhythm of making by hand. We can’t wait to see what you create.
