Yarn as a Second Language (YASL) was created for people who crochet often, thoughtfully, and for long stretches of time.

 

We focus on ergonomic crochet hooks designed to reduce hand fatigue while preserving control, balance, and feel. Every hook we offer is made with intention—no mass production, no shortcuts, and no “one-size-fits-all” thinking.

 

We believe comfort matters. Technique matters. And the tools you use should support both.

YASL hooks are produced in small batches by skilled craftspeople, allowing us to prioritize quality over quantity. This approach takes more time—but it ensures each hook meets our standards for performance, durability, and comfort.

 

Whether you crochet as a creative outlet, a craft, or a serious pursuit, YASL exists to support your hands so you can focus on the work you love.
