From Loops to Liberation: Delhipedia at a Crochet Workshop in Delhi
Location: Canvas V. Plant Kitchen + Bar, Panchsheel Park
Hosted by: @crochet.kala
In a world constantly on the go, sometimes all you need is a ball of yarn and a hook to slow things down. Delhipedia recently attended a cozy, mindful crochet workshop by Crochet Kala at the lush, plant-filled venue of Canvas V. Plant Kitchen + Bar — and let’s just say, we walked away with more than just pretty patterns.
Crochet is no longer just your nani’s pastime — it’s 2025’s hottest slow fashion flex, and also a deeply calming creative outlet.
🧵Why Crochet (and Art Classes in General) are Booming in Delhi
From painting and pottery to digital art and crochet, there’s a creative renaissance sweeping through Delhi’s cultural spaces. Here’s what’s behind the surge:
1. Mental Wellness & Stress Relief
In an overstimulated digital age, people are turning to art forms like crochet for calm and clarity. The rhythmic, repetitive motions of crocheting are almost meditative — and the joy of creating something with your hands? Therapeutic.
2. Enriching Weekends
Instead of doom-scrolling or hitting the mall, Delhiites are choosing to spend their weekends creating, learning, and connecting. These workshops offer a chance to switch off and tap into something meaningful.
3. Community & Connection
At the workshop, we met people from all walks of life — from students to entrepreneurs — bonding over yarn, color palettes, and stitches. It wasn’t just a class; it was a creative community.
4. Personal Growth & Confidence
Learning crochet teaches patience, precision, and problem-solving. Every small project completed is a small win — and a big boost to self-confidence.
5. Cultural Appreciation
Workshops like these also help preserve and promote traditional art forms, many of which are deeply rooted in Indian heritage. Crochet may be global, but when taught in Delhi’s contemporary spaces, it carries local flavor.
