Modern craftsmanship for beginners

Modern craftsmanship with sustainable materials

MYO Make Your Own was started in the spring of 2020 with a simple idea; to make crafts sustainable and more accessible to anyone who wants to learn to create. In MYO's new yarn store you will find, among other things, bamboo yarn for various small projects as well as 80% recycled cotton yarn for crochet and macrame. These are made from leftovers from clothing production in Italy, and get their colors from the fiber pulp that is mixed together - meaning they are not dyed or processed afterwards.

MYO Make Your Own started in the spring of 2020 with a simple idea; to make crafts sustainable and more accessible for everyone who wants to learn to create. MYO comes from the Swedish mountains, from a small village called Åre. 

 

 

Behind MYO are us, Oona von Zweygbergk and Salli Skött, two friends who enjoy creating useful things (anything, really) from sustainable materials. Through this concept, we want to share the joy of creation by guiding the entire craft industry in a direction that better meets those who don’t know how to get started with creating. We also focus on sustainability, something that the "craft industry" traditionally does not seem to have considered much.

The logic is simple; by creating yourself, from sustainable/recycled materials, you avoid burdening the environment with new products made from new materials.

 

 

  

This product package from MYO Make Your Own is made as simple and beginner-friendly as we can. We create both the design and the instructions ourselves, as well as photograph and film the instructions with high quality. We have noticed ourselves, when we have learned to crochet or tie new models, that video works very well for learning - but only if the material you hold in your hand is the same as in the video. Therefore, we have instructional videos for all MYO's products on our YouTube channel.

 

 

MYO's ready-made packages are the perfect start when you want to learn to crochet or to tie macramé. You can easily take your crochet or macramé almost anywhere you want with the smart bag you get with it - on the train to your next adventure, an evening on the couch with your favorite music, or to a cozy hangout with your friends. Learning to create should be fun, which is why it should also be accessible and convenient. That's why MYO exists.
