Mouse & Sparrow: Crochet Made Calm, Simple & Sustainable

Hi, I’m Claudia — lifelong crocheter, busy mum of three, and founder of Mouse & Sparrow.

I picked up a crochet hook when I was seven, but it wasn’t until becoming a mum that I realised how powerful making something with your hands can be.

In the middle of family life, work, and general chaos, crochet became my calm — a way to reset, create, and feel accomplished, even on the busiest days.

But I also learned something else:
projects don’t need to be long or complicated to bring joy.

Mouse & Sparrow was born from that realisation.

Why I Started Mouse & Sparrow

Like many makers, I wanted crochet to feel:

  • simple rather than overwhelming

  • relaxing rather than stressful

  • achievable within a weekend

  • and aligned with my values, especially when it comes to the planet

So I began designing beginner-friendly kits that create beautiful home décor, using materials that feel good for your hands and good for the earth.

What We Believe

Crochet Should Feel Accessible

  • No jargon. No pressure.

  • Just clear steps, guided learning, and the confidence
    that you can finish your project — even if you’ve never crocheted before.

Small Projects Bring Big Joy

  • Each kit is intentionally designed to be finished in a day or two,
    so you get that satisfying “I made this!” moment fast.

Your Home Deserves Handmade

  • From coaster sets to plant pot covers and calming seasonal pieces, our
    kits help you create items you’ll actually use and love.

Making Can Be Sustainable

  • We choose earth-conscious materials and plastic-free packaging as standard.
