OUR INSPIRATION

A Legacy of Crochet.  A Future of Compassion.


Éléonore Riego de la Branchardière​

(1828 - 1887)

​

Éléonore Riego de la Branchardière (1828–1887) was a renowned nineteenth-century needlework author whose published books helped make crochet, knitting, and lace-making patterns accessible to generations of crafters. Her work contributed to the development of crochet as a recognised art and creative skill.

​

Her legacy reminds us that crochet is more than loops of yarn woven together. It is an art of patience, creativity, comfort, and connection—an art that can bring warmth to those who need it most.

​

In remembrance of her death anniversary on 26 December, BRIATOSHS is launching Threads of Love, a charitable crochet initiative that transforms this beautiful craft into an expression of compassion.

​

Her work gave the world patterns. Our hands give the world hope.

Why Threads of Love?

Every newborn deserves warmth, care, and a loving welcome into the world. Yet, many underprivileged families struggle to provide even the simplest comforts for their babies.

​

Through Threads of Love, we invite crochet artists and yarn lovers to come together to create handmade baby blankets for underprivileged newborns. These lovingly crafted blankets will be donated to newborn babies in need at government hospitals across Delhi NCR.

​

Our initiative will take place from 26 December to 30 December, celebrating the spirit of giving through the art of crochet.

​

We believe that every stitch carries a message of kindness, every blanket offers a little warmth, and every contribution can make a difference in a newborn’s life.

​

We are not just crocheting blankets; we are stitching love, dignity, and hope into the lives of little ones.

How Can You Join Threads of Love?

It's Simple. Create. Donate. Make a Difference

We warmly invite crochet artists, beginners, experienced crafters, and anyone who wishes to contribute to this meaningful cause to become part of our initiative.

One Community, One Compassionate Mission

Threads of Love is more than a crochet project. It is an opportunity to bring the crochet community together for a purpose greater than ourselves.

 

At BRIATOSHS, we believe that crochet has the power to connect people, preserve creativity, and create a positive social impact. By bringing together the hands and hearts of crochet creators, we aim to demonstrate how a traditional craft can become a powerful instrument of kindness.

 

As we remember Éléonore Riego de la Branchardière and her contribution to needlework, let us honour her legacy in a meaningful way—not only by celebrating crochet as an art, but also by using it to serve humanity.

 

Whether you are an experienced crochet artist or someone who simply wishes to make a difference, your participation matters. One blanket may seem small, but to a newborn in need, it can be a precious gift of warmth and care.

Join Us. Crochet with Purpose. Give with Love
