101 Catchy Crochet Business Names to Inspire Your Brand

Handmade is having a moment. Thanks to TikTok and Etsy, crocheters everywhere are turning yarn into booming businesses.

But here’s the stitch: in a crowded market, your name is your first impression. The right one makes you memorable, marketable, and unmistakably you. Let’s untangle how to find the perfect crochet business name.

Why is my crochet business name so important?

When creatives are choosing their brand names, there are many things to keep in mind. As with any process, it’s much easier with a list, so let’s get right into why your name is so important.

First impressions

Your business name is most often the first thing about your brand a customer sees. Think of it as a handshake. An appealing name immediately sets the tone for your customers’ impression of you and your crafts.

Memorability

In an online marketplace that’s full of different options, keeping your customers’ minds on your name is of utmost importance. It can mean the difference between becoming a single-watch reel and a brand people search for on social media.

Uniqueness

Let’s be honest- there are thousands and thousands of registered businesses out there selling crocheted goods. A distinctive name signals that your brand, among the thousands, is unique, with its own character and voice. It sets you apart from other crocheters, helping customers understand that what you bring to the table is truly original.

Connection

A good name should evoke feelings. Luckily, crocheting already carries an innate aura of comfort, coziness and craftsmanship, so you can really tap into those feelings and stir them with a good, warm name. This is important because having an emotional connection can help drive loyalty, as customers love supporting a brand that feels genuine and meaningful.

Search Engine Discoverability

If you are planning to sell online, your name is of utmost importance to your brand’s discoverability. Including clear and relevant words like “crochet”, “handmade”, and “threads” improves your visibility on different search platforms. A name that’s optimized with SEO in mind will help your shop appear when customers search for what they need, giving you an edge over the competition.

What are the key elements of catchy crochet business names?

Coming up with a crochet business name is all about the details. There are many aspects to take into account here, but the main ones are:

• Clarity

Your brand name should be clear about what you create. Words related to your craft instantly signal what you’re all about. So don’t go for something overly obscure- it could lead to customers overlooking you as a crocheter altogether.

• Originality

An unexpected, original name will stick in customers’ minds. Think about combining unusual words, and build a story with your name that will stand apart from generic names like “Handmade by…”.

• Simplicity

When it comes to names that will be remembered, shorter is sweeter. Simple names are easier to remember, spell and even say out loud. This is especially important for both your brand’s marketing and social media engagement.

• Relevance

What is the general vibe of your creations? Are you creating fun and quirky items, or perhaps vintage? Your name should reflect the mood of your crafts, so potential customers know what your aesthetic is before they even see them.

• Availability

Before you decide on a name, you should check if it’s available across social media, as well as platforms like Etsy and Shopify. If you keep the same handle across platforms, your brand becomes much easier to find and trust.

• Longevity

When choosing a brand name, you should always think ahead. As with any creative endeavor, your crocheting might also change with the times. You might shift focus from making toys to selling garments, or start offering guides or patterns. So if you expect your range to broaden, you should avoid super-niche names.

How can I come up with good crocheting business names?

Coming up with catchy ideas for brand names takes originality, creativity, and time. But most of all, it requires a focused perspective, so let’s take a look at some strategies for naming your new crochet business.

✅Get your craft terms out

A helpful strategy is to write down every word related to crochet that comes to mind. Words such as yarn, knot, hook, thread, stitch, and loop can serve as a great starting point. Then, combine these words with those that reflect your aesthetic, such as cozy, vintage, quirky, or vibrant. This technique can lead to some unexpected and creative combinations, like “The Quirky Thread” or “Vibrant Knots Atelier.”

✅Use emotional language

Crocheting is already an activity people associate with warmth, nostalgia and comfort. Words like hearth, nest, home, cuddle, family dig into those feelings and attract customers who value care and handmade craftsmanship.

✅Rhyme

A catchy rhythm to your crochet business name can be an earworm that helps customers remember you and also catches the ear of others when they recommend you. Examples like “Twisty Thread” or “The Knot Spot” are fun to say and very easy to remember.

✅Play with words

Using light humor and easy wordplay can endear you to customers. Examples like “In the Loop” or “Yarn it All” can draw in many potential clients. Just make sure you’re matching your target audience’s tones with your pun, so that you don’t accidentally alienate them.

Step-by-step: testing your brand name

It’s generally a good idea to always test your name before you commit to it. Testing can help you make sure that your name speaks your brand’s message and avoid issues later. Here are some steps you can take to test your brand name:

1.Get feedback from real people

Once you come up with some strong names, share your ideas with friends, family and other crocheters. Ask them which names stand out, and even check in a couple days later to see which names they remember.

2.Radio test

We’ve already talked about the importance of spelling for brand names. Performing a radio test is a great way to make sure your name doesn’t cause confusion. Simply say the name out loud and have some friends write it down. If they can’t spell it or don’t clearly understand what to write down, your customers will probably struggle too.

3.Verify availability

If you’re happy with your name and it’s easy to spell and understand, it’s time to check if your chosen name is legally available. Luckily, ANNA has a free company name checker to help you see if your name is available to register as a limited company. Also check Etsy, Instagram, TikTok and other social media handles. If your ideal name is already taken, go back to the drawing board!

4.Consider the visuals

When you’re thinking about a brand name you should always imagine it as a logo or product tag. If the name looks balanced on labels, packaging or price tags, you’re good to go.

5.Think ahead

Many crocheters start a business from the comfort of their home. However, you don’t have to limit yourself to a local business! If you’re planning to sell abroad, take time to confirm that your name doesn’t have awkward meanings or translations elsewhere.
