All our products are handmade or upcycled by Lindsey.

Made By Auntie Linz started selling crochet goods in 2023, and has grown into a fiber-based gifts and goods business with one goal in mind: everyone should feel good about themselves and their space! Dopamine decor and fast fashion can do that, but why sacrifice your hard-earned money on mass-produced junk that won’t last more than a season?

    Quality Materials & Products

    We use materials that are snuggly enough to enjoy but tough enough to stand the test of time. Most products can even be machine-washed. Polyester, Acrylic, and Cotton yarns and blends are used in our products. We avoid working with wool and other animal hairs because of sensitivities & allergies to them.

FAQs

How long does it take you to make your products?

Small items like plushies and keychains take 15 minutes to make, but larger items like blankets and cardigans take up to 10 hours to make.

Where do you get your yarn?

I use to get all my yarn locally at Joann Fabrics, but with them going out of business I now source all my yarn from online retailers like Marymaxim.com, Herschners, and Yarnspirations. I also sometimes go to Micheals!

How long have you been doing this?

I started at just 7 years old! My mom taught me while she was making items for my nieces, I just watched and copied what she did with an occasional question or 2! I’m also an avid crafter and hobby collector.

I’ve been crocheting and crafting on and off since but started Made By Auntie Linz as a business in May 2023.

Are all your products handmade?

YES! Lindsey handmakes or upcycles every item.

I purchase all my patterns from talented crochet artists all across the world on Etsy. I currently do not write any patterns but can read patterns and charts.
