LOVE TO CROCHET ♥️ LOVE OUR PLANET

Welcome to A Heart Shaped Cherry - I'm Nicky and I'm passionate about sustainable crochet! I founded AHSC to help beginners like you discover the joy of this craft. I offer beginner-friendly kits, patterns, crochet lessons, courses and workshops in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, all while prioritizing our planet. From using recycled yarns and eco-packaging to powering my studio with solar energy, I'm committed to making crochet a craft you can feel good about. Let's create beautiful things together, sustainably!
