About Coffeepot Crochet

Hi! I'm JJ, the hands and brains behind Coffeepot Crochet. I started my business in 2022, shortly after leaving teaching due to incredible burnout. I watched my grandmother make blanket after blanket when I was young, never seeming to get bored, so I decided to try crochet to soothe my soul. I fell in love and never stopped. 

Since then I have explored other fiber arts like knitting, embroidery and even a light amount of spinning my own yarn! 

My #1 goal when choosing to start my company was that I always wanted to push boundaries. You will rarely find a neutral color in my stock, and I will always offer plus sizes at the exact same pricing as any other size. I am trans, queer, pro-choice, weed-welcoming and pro-Palestine and that will always remain evident on my site. I am huge proponent of craft-ivism and believe that art can have form and function equally.

When there's not a hook or needles in my hand, I love to spend time reading, cooking, getting tattoos, watching reality TV and persuading my 2 cats to love me. My partner and I currently reside in West Michigan.
