Spreading joy one cute little stitch at a time
Móhu is a Mandarin word that means fuzzy or woolly. It’s a name chosen to celebrate my Chinese heritage and love of all things cute and fluffy. Móhu also means blurry or vague, which is quite fitting considering I never had a clear direction in mind. I just wanted to make things.
It all started in my little apartment in Johannesburg over 15 years ago, where I crocheted and did silly crafts to ease my anxiety. At some point these small amigurumi* creatures emerged, and soon I was overrun. Now they cover the walls and shelves and hide in any tiny spaces they can find. They stare at me while we work. They stare with little beady eyes. Because their eyes are actually made of beads.
This little shop has been my creative outlet through all life’s adventures: from graduating university, immigrating to Canada, becoming a craft book author, starting a family, and more. These mini amigurumi creatures have brought me so much joy; I hope I can send a little bit your way too!
*an amigurumi is a soft toy that’s knitted or crocheted.
