projects to knit & crochet

{ cozy... and so much more }

hygge

{ pronounced hoo-guh } The Danish concept of coziness, comfort and warm relationships, hygge engenders feelings of well-being and contentment. Although we may not have an English word that means hygge, we think that cozy comes really close to conveying the meaning.

We have chosen the projects in this look book with hygge sensibilities.

Throws and pillows are made with cozy yarn, using simple neutral hues and in comfy surroundings. Our Wrap-ture Shawl and Relaxation Socks are ahh-some for easy stay-at-home comfort. Baskets keep your home organized and feeling peaceful. An all-natural Cotton Scrubby is there to HYGGE

soothe you as you bathe.
