Presented by Klára Nyari, CEO of Hemptique, and Scarlet Stitch, Crochet Artist

Join Klára Nyari, CEO of Hemptique, and Scarlet Stitch, crochet artist, for an inspiring session exploring how sustainable materials can elevate today’s craft industry.

Founded in 1997, Hemptique has been a pioneer in the natural fiber space, serving artisans, makers, designers, and the sustainable craft market with thoughtfully developed products rooted in quality, creativity, and environmental responsibility. In this session, Klára will introduce the Hemptique brand story, its long-standing commitment to sustainable craft, and the growing importance of natural fibers such as hemp and linen in modern making.
Attendees will gain insight into how heritage materials can meet current market demand for eco-conscious, beautiful, and functional craft supplies. The session will highlight Hemptique’s mission, the value of sustainable fibers in handmade work, and how makers and retailers can connect creativity with purpose.

To bring the materials to life, Scarlet Stitch will present a small crochet craft demonstration, showing the beauty, versatility, and tactile appeal of working with natural fiber yarns and cordage. This session blends brand story, product education, and live creative inspiration in a way that is both practical and memorable.
Ideal for retailers, educators, content creators, and makers looking to understand the future of sustainable craft materials and how to turn that story into meaningful customer connection.
