Our Story

Hand & Hook was born from a love of crochet passed down through generations. Founder Izzy first learnt the craft from her grandma - skills later rediscovered during lockdown as a way to slow down, create with intention, and reconnect with traditional making.

Now based in Hampshire, Hand & Hook celebrates hand crochet through a modern, considered approach. Drawing on experience working in the ateliers of luxury fashion houses, Izzy blends contemporary design with heritage techniques to create thoughtfully crafted pieces.

Proudly queer-owned and rooted in craftsmanship, Hand & Hook is for those who value quality, creativity, and a fresh take on handmade.

Made Responsibly

  • We only use 100% natural fibres.

    Our gloves are crafted from a premium wool merino blend, delivering exceptional softness and warmth. Naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, merino wool helps keep hands comfortable whilst being durable, long-lasting, and biodegradable.

    Scrunchies and bandanas are made from 100% cotton, offering natural softness while remaining strong and comfortable for everyday wear.

  • Every piece is handmade by Izzy in Hampshire. Each item is carefully designed and crafted using traditional crochet techniques. True crochet can only be created by hand - no machine can replicate an authentic crochet stitch.

  • All product labels are considered and where possible made from recycled post-consumer waste. Packaging materials are thoughtfully selected to keep waste to an absolute minimum, supporting a more sustainable approach at every stage.
