About Retro Foundry

Crafted Once, Cherished Forever

Retro Foundry is where craftsmanship, comfort, and timeless design meet — every piece made with heart, made to last, and made to be felt.

Hi, I’m Divya, the heart and hands behind this small, luxurious crochet studio based in Ontario, Canada.

My journey began while balancing a full-time career in the business world, where I found peace in the slow rhythm of crochet. What started as a calming escape soon grew into a deep love for the art — and eventually, a brand that celebrates everything handmade stands for: patience, beauty, and legacy.

At Retro Foundry, each creation carries a story. From soft, cozy hats to one-of-a-kind bags and home pieces, every item is crafted once and meant to be cherished for years. I design for those who value artistry over trends, texture over speed, and meaning over mass production.

What We Offer

Our store features a thoughtful selection of handmade crochet items — from ready-made pieces to custom designs and digital patterns for makers who love to create.

Whether you’re buying a gift or learning to crochet yourself, you’ll find something that connects you to the art of making. You can also follow along on YouTube, where I share tutorials and creative inspiration from my studio.

Customization

Every person has their own story, and I love weaving that into what I make.

You can send me your ideas — colors, fibers, and references — and I’ll turn them into your personal heirloom, made by hand and made with care.

Materials

I source my yarn from trusted Canadian suppliers like Yarnspirations and Michaels, ensuring that every stitch is made with high-quality, long-lasting fibers.
