What is the biggest benefit of Interweave+? First, let’s look at the science. Did you know that serotonin is released when you perform repetitive movements? Now, replace “repetitive movements” with crochet. You already know that crochet reduces your stress, leaves you calmer, and just makes you happier. It can also reduce your cortisol levels. Also called the stress hormone, cortisol is my biggest struggle with losing weight. That makes crochet exercise, right?

Crochet is an important part of your mental health. I know many of us feel guilty about taking time for ourselves to crochet or struggle with finding the time to relax with a hook and pattern. But taking that time to crochet, not frantically finishing a gift but actually relaxing with crochet, is something you very much need.
