“Crochet flower” is a technique, not a material — and understanding what yarn goes into each piece can help you pick the right gift for the right person.
Crochet: The Technique
Crochet refers to the method — creating fabric or shapes using a hook and yarn. Nearly all our floral pieces are crocheted, but the type of yarn used changes the final texture and look.
Cotton Yarn
Cotton-based pieces, like our Premium Cotton Rose and Cotton Open Tulips, have a crisp, structured finish that closely resembles real petals — smooth to the touch, with well-defined shapes.
Woolen Yarn
Wool-based pieces, like our Woolen Rose, have a softer, fluffier texture — a slightly cosier, more rustic look that suits warmer, homely gifting themes (think winter gifting or a housewarming).
Which Should You Choose?
- Choose cotton if you want a clean, elegant, true-to-life floral look.
- Choose wool if you want a softer, textured piece with a cosier feel.
- Mix both in a single arrangement (our fuller bouquets often do this) for contrast and depth.
Caring for Each Material
Both materials are low-maintenance, but wool pieces benefit slightly more from being kept away from damp conditions, since wool fibres can hold moisture longer than cotton. For both, a gentle dusting every few weeks keeps them looking fresh.
Whichever texture speaks to you, explore our full flowers range to see cotton and wool pieces side by side.
