About Us
πΏ ABOUT US β RavelBerry
Reviving Crochet. Empowering Artisans. Rebuilding a Legacy.
RavelBerry was born with one purpose β to revive the dying art of crochet in India and give dignity, fair earning, and recognition to the women who have preserved this craft for generations.
β Our Roots
I grew up in a small rural village on the riverbanks of Andhra Pradesh.
Life was simple, but the women around me carried incredible strength.
From my childhood, I watched:
-
my mother,
-
my grandmother,
-
and the women in our street
sit together and crochet for hours β creating beauty out of thread.
For them, crochet was their only livelihood.
Because of social restrictions, they couldnβt go outside for work.
Yet despite weeks and months of effort, they were paid only a tiny fraction of what their art was worth.
Traditional intermediaries offered extremely low compensation,
while large exporters made crores by selling their handcrafted pieces overseas.
The hands that created the art were unfairly compensated,
and the system survived on their silence.
β The Decline of a Beautiful Art
As years passed, things changed.
Government support programs reduced the need for home-based income.
Education opened new career paths for younger women.
Slowly, crochet β once the pride of our village β started to disappear.
At the same time, Indian customers were flooded with:
-
substandard crochet products
-
cheap yarn
-
harsh chemical colors
-
poor finishing
This damaged trust and pushed authentic crochet further into the shadows.
The art was fading.
But the spark in my heart never dimmed.
β The Dream Behind RavelBerry
I always believed crochet deserved respect, fairness, and a second life.
After years of planning, hesitation, and setbacks, RavelBerry finally came alive β
with a promise to uplift the craft and the women behind it.
We decided to rebuild the system differently:
β Pay artisans 2Γ higher than typical rates
β Use premium cotton yarn that lasts for years
β Choose sustainable, safe dyes
β Replace intermediaries with women coordinators
β Develop modern, refined prototypes and designs
β Maintain complete transparency and dignity
Slowly, interest returned.
Women felt valued again.
Skills that were fading began to rise.
The rhythm of crochet β once lost β started returning.
