Always A Frayed
Hi! I’m Sarah — the maker behind Always A Frayed. My shop started with crochet patterns and slowly grew into a colorful collection of handmade jewelry, charms, accessories, and crochet patterns. I’ve always loved crafting and collecting little bits and pieces to make something beautiful. A lot of the beads and findings I use are ones I’ve had since the early 2000s (not quite vintage yet, haha), and I love giving them new life in unexpected ways.
Creativity has always been part of my world thanks to my mom and grandmother, who both encouraged every project and idea I had growing up. My grandmother taught me how to crochet and knit — her cross-stitching was breathtaking — and after she passed, creating became my way of staying close to her. Every time I sit down to crochet or bead, I think of her steady hands and beautiful work, and it reminds me why I love what I do.
Everything in my shop is made with playfulness, curiosity, and a bit of nostalgia. I don’t stick to one specific style — I gather beads, charms, and colors that speak to me, and I see how they fit together in the moment. Most of my pieces are one-of-a-kind because they evolve naturally that way, turning into something special I didn’t even plan.
Always A Frayed is my little creative space — a mix of crochet, color, and heart — and I’m so happy you’re here to see what I make.
