How Loomins were created – the story of hand-crocheted characters with crystals

✨ Our story – how Loomins was created

My name is Julie and I am behind the brand Loomins – hand-crocheted figures that carry not only meticulous work, but also a piece of nature and symbolism. Each Loomin holds a crystal that we have carefully selected to carry positive energy and at the same time match the character of the figure.
The idea to combine crocheted figures with natural minerals came about together with my partner. Matouš , who came up with the idea of incorporating a crystal into each Loomina. His sense of symbolism and the energy of stones gave the project a new dimension - and so my hobby became a brand that today combines handwork, aesthetics and meaning.

🧶 What are Loomins?

Loomins are small crocheted figures on a key chain that hold a crystal – each one different, each with its own meaning. I make them by hand, with an emphasis on detail, quality and originality. Each Loomin is unique, no mass production, no copies.

🌱 Handmade with a story

Each Loomin is created in my studio, where a little companion is born from yarn, a hook and a mineral - a talisman that can accompany its owner every step of the way. Whether you clip it to your keys, backpack or keep it at home, it will always carry a piece of positive energy.
In addition to Loomins, I also make other custom crocheted products, but this project is close to my heart for Matouš and me. It is our shared story that gradually develops with each new Loomin that goes out into the world.
Thank you for being a part of it. 💛
