🧶 May is Mental Health Awareness Month — and we’re celebrating the calming, uplifting, and empowering effects of knitting on our minds and hearts.
Science agrees: knitting isn’t just a cozy hobby. Studies show it can reduce stress, lower cortisol, boost dopamine, and even support long-term cognitive health. 💚 From repetitive motion that soothes the nervous system to the joy of finishing a project, knitting can be a powerful tool for your well-being.
✨ We dug into scientific research and mental health studies to create our new guide, How Knitting Affects Your Mental Health — and we’ll be sharing deeper looks at those findings all month long. Stay tuned for posts that explore how knitting supports community, creativity, and cognitive strength.
