01 / The world of Yayaliki

A thread. A thought.
A world of its own.

A face you know by heart. A creature from a daydream.
An ordinary object, made a little less ordinary.

I’m Chara. I make crochet pieces with a story to tell.
Perhaps the next one is yours.

03 / Made for someone

Not quite like
anything else.

The best commissions begin with something personal.
A person, a memory, a wonderfully peculiar idea.

  1. 01

    Tell me the story.

    A portrait, a gift, a piece of art. Share what you have in mind, who it is for and when you need it.

  2. 02

    Find its character.

    We’ll talk through the details, colours, scale and possibilities, then agree the scope, timing and price.

  3. 03

    Make it yours.

    Made by hand, with your story in mind. We’ll arrange the final details and handover together.

For the person who has everything. Except this.

Let’s make
something matter.
