What Are YonCoins? How the Yon Crochet Rewards System Works

YonCoins are Yon Crochet's rewards currency, earned by watching lessons, finishing projects, keeping daily streaks, and sharing your work, then redeemed for discounts and rewards in the shop. If you have ever wondered why learning crochet on Yon Crochet feels a little like leveling up in a game, YonCoins are the reason.

Why Yon Crochet Built a Rewards System at All

Craft kits have a well-known problem: a lot of them get started with enthusiasm and then sit half-finished in a drawer. Gamification (turning progress into visible rewards) is one of the most effective ways to keep beginners motivated past that first difficult stretch, which is exactly why the dashboard exists alongside the lessons themselves.

How You Earn YonCoins

• Watching lesson videos - coins accumulate as you progress through a character's guided lesson
• Completing a project - finishing a character earns a larger coin bonus than individual lesson steps
• Daily streaks - logging in and completing at least one activity each day builds a streak, and longer streaks earn bonus coins
• Sharing your finished project - uploading a photo of your completed character to the community earns additional coins
• Completing challenges - periodic challenges on the dashboard offer extra coin opportunities

What Can You Do With YonCoins?

Coins accumulate on your dashboard and can be redeemed for discount codes and rewards on future orders. The more lessons you finish and the more consistently you show up, the more your coin balance grows, which turns ordinary progress through a lesson into something you can actually see add up.

What Are Tiers?

As you earn YonCoins, your account moves through tiers (Seed, Sprout, Bloom, Blossom), each representing a new stage of progress. Tiers are a visible marker of how far you have come, similar to a level system, without requiring you to track anything manually.

What Happens If You Miss a Day?

Your streak resets if you miss a day of activity, but your total coin balance and tier progress stay exactly where they were. Missing a day does not erase your progress, it just means starting a new streak the next time you log in.

Do You Need to Buy a Kit to Earn YonCoins?

You start earning as soon as you begin a lesson, whether that came from a physical kit or a standalone video lesson purchase. The reward system tracks your activity on the dashboard itself, not just kit ownership.

Why This Matters More Than It Sounds

A lot of craft platforms treat learning as a one-way transaction: you buy something, you get a tutorial, and that is the end of the relationship. YonCoins turn that into an ongoing loop, watch a lesson, earn something, use it toward your next project, which is a big part of why the Yon Crochet dashboard feels different from a plain video library.
