Handmade Crochet Plushies & Amigurumi • Tauranga, New Zealand

Hi There! I’m Kalyse — the maker, mum, and yarn-obsessed heart behind YarnsEnd Creations in sunny Tauranga, NZ.

What began as a simple mission to crochet a teddy for my son during the 2020 lockdown quickly grew into a full-blown love affair with creating handmade crochet plushies and amigurumi. One hook, one teddy, and suddenly I was completely hooked — literally.

Today, I design and handcraft soft, heirloom-quality crochet cuddlies from my smoke-free, pet-free home. Each plushie is stitched using premium yarns, shaped with care, and finished with the tiny details that make every YarnsEnd creation truly one-of-a-kind. No two pieces ever turn out the same — and that’s exactly what makes them special.

My creations are made for little hands, big hearts, nurseries, collectors, and anyone who appreciates meaningful, handmade gifts. Whether it’s a snuggly fox, a chonky bee, or a magical octopus, every piece is crafted to bring warmth, joy, and a little sprinkle of Yendy magic into your world.

Thank you for supporting my NZ small business and choosing handmade. I hope my crochet creations bring you as much happiness as they bring me while making them.

✨ Where threads come to life.
