Chapter 1
Hi, I'm Y Vy, founder of Yon Crochet. I moved to Canada at 19, alone, on a student visa, chasing one dream: to become a designer. I graduated in multimedia design with a heart full of ideas and a resume nobody wanted. Most of my school years were spent on long shifts in a ramen kitchen, and when the rejection emails started piling up, the stress got heavy enough to carry everywhere.
Chapter 2
That's when I found crochet. And honestly? I struggled with that too. The tutorials were confusing, the materials weren't made for beginners, and I kept undoing more stitches than I made. But somewhere between the frustration and the quiet, something clicked. I realized the problem wasn't me. Beginners just deserved a simpler, kinder way to learn. That thought became Yon Crochet.
Chapter 3
Founded in 2025 with my co-founder Yen Vy Hoang, Yon Crochet was built from the ground up: the characters, the all-in-one kits, the short guided videos, the learning platform, all of it designed so a complete beginner never feels lost. Everything you need arrives in one box, and every lesson is made to keep you moving forward, one small win at a time.
Where the characters come from
We grew up on animated movies: the brave little heroes, the shy dreamers, the sidekicks who were scared but went anyway. Those characters raised us. So when we created Yon World, we stitched them from the same thread: our childhood memories, our real struggles as immigrants and makers, and the stubborn hope that you can always push through. Each character carries a feeling we actually lived. Maybe you've lived it too.
Front: the friend you'll crochet. Back: the struggle they carry and how they push through, straight from the Yon World story.
New chapters are still being stitched. The element crew lives in online lessons, where the world keeps growing without waiting on a box.
What makes Yon different
Our Pattern Trainer teaches you to read a crochet pattern through 40+ illustrated micro-lessons. No account needed to start.
Every launched lesson is filmed twice, including a fully mirrored left-hand version. No flipping the picture in your head.
Captions and audio in English, French-Canadian, and Vietnamese, because a first project is hard enough without a language barrier.
Every kit ships with Yon Yarn, a 68% cotton and 32% nylon blend with no split ends, so your hook glides instead of snagging.
Beginner kits arrive with the magic ring pre-started, so you begin with easy stitches and learn the tricky part once your hands are warm.
Lessons, streaks and finished projects earn Yon Coins, and those coins come off your next kit. The more you learn, the more you save.
Our mission
Crochet should feel calming, not intimidating.
Beginners deserve better instructions and tools.
Small progress is still progress. We celebrate it.
Thank you for being here and supporting a small Canadian business. Pick a character who feels like you, and let's push through together.

Rocky has news
You told us the little box on every yarn ball felt wasteful, and we listened. Yarn now ships box-free: less waste for the planet, lower costs for us, the same squishy yarn for you.
🎁 To say thank you: order 3 or more yarn balls and a free character keychain hops in.
