About us

Modern crafts for everyone

MYO Make Your Own was founded in the spring of 2020 with a simple idea; to make crafts sustainable and more accessible to everyone who wants to learn how to create with yarns. MYO comes from the Swedish mountains, from a small village called Åre, which also is known as Sweden's biggest ski resort.

Behind MYO is us: Oona von Zweygbergk & Salli Skött

With MYO's concept and easy instructions, we want to share the joy of creating by taking the entire crafting industry in a direction that better meets those who don't know how to get started.  

We also put our focus on sustainability, something that this industry traditionally doesn't seem to have given much thought to.

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

How EKO yarns are being manufactured

"DIY kits" from MYO are made as simple & beginner-friendly as we can.

We create the design and instructions either ourselves or in collaboration with other creators, and the instructions are photographed and filmed with high quality. We have noticed ourselves, when learning 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.   

That's why we have instructional videos for all MYO products on our YouTube channel.
