Hello, I am Lis Crandall—founder, maker, and the hands behind Lis Makes. If you’re here, you probably know how overwhelming life can feel sometimes. I started Lis Makes as a way to slow down, breathe, and bring a little more warmth into the world, both for myself and for others.

My background is in psychology, and I’ve always cared deeply about mental health and well-being. For me, working with yarn and thread is more than a craft—it’s a way to ground myself, to focus on the present, and to create something gentle in a world that often feels anything but. Every piece I make is a quiet act of care, stitched with the hope that it might bring comfort to someone else.
