About Nettle and Laurel
Nettle and Laurel (N&L) is ran by yours truly, Lauren. I started N&L in December 2022 when I wanted to get back to my creative roots that I knew so well growing up, but had neglected for far too long. I am currently based out of Portage, MI. Under the N&L name, I make the things that I would want for myself. You won’t get an item I wouldn’t personally use. These personal preferences definitely shape N&L as a whole, from the color schemes, to the patterns, to the material choices. Whether you’re looking for a well-crafted crochet item, luxury handspun yarn, or other fiber art items as gifts or for personal use, you’ll want to choose N&L. Each item is handmade just for you!
