In the past several years, homemade items have seen a resurgence in popularity. Many consumers are looking for the perfect niche gift for their loved ones or a one-of-a-kind sweater to warm them through the fall and winter months.
No doubt, there's a market for crafty crochet creations, but getting your business seen requires strong marketing and an effective business name. To help you find the perfect name for your crochet brand, we've created a list of 210 crochet business name ideas, broken down by the type and tone of your business.
If none of the names in this list stands out to you, no worries. Brainstorming unique crochet business names has never been easier. Our AI-powered business name generator allows you to review hundreds of creative business name ideas in three steps:
The service is completely free, so use it as many times as you need to find a business name you love. Note that no two businesses in the same state can use the same name. As soon as you choose a name, you should register your business with your local Secretary of State or file a name reservation.
A crochet brand name should speak to the target audience. For example, a funny business name can convey that your brand is child-friendly or that it's aimed at adults depending on the type of humor.
A unique crochet business name can also convey the theme of your brand. For example, a name like "Yarn Magic" will attract the type of niche customer looking for whimsical crochet designs.
If you want your crochet shop to market off of the snuggly feeling of fall and winter, a cute and cozy business name will bring in customers looking for sweaters, socks, and mittens.
We're no longer in the era of black, gray, and white ruling fashion. People want color. Tell them you've got what they're looking for with a vibrant business name.
If the quality of your yarn or stitching is distinctive, conveying that in your business name will help attract the type of customer who's willing to pay more for quality, handmade items.
When customers search for crochet items, they're looking for something specific. Incorporating a fashion term into your business name helps customers looking for crochet clothes locate your shop.
A catchy business name helps potential customers remember the name of your shop. Ideally, it should also convey something differentiating about your brand.
A good business name should market your business, resonate with your target audience, and communicate your product. However, it also needs to comply with local business naming laws.
Often, your business name will determine the first impression of your brand. For that reason, it's critical to consider who you want to sell your products to before you determine the tone and language of your business name.
For example, "Tender Touch Crochet" is more likely to appeal to parents or grandparents looking for something for their child or grandchild. Alternatively, "Crochet Couture" might speak to someone searching for a chic knit sweater for herself.
Whether advertising your products at a craft fair, through social media, or online, a short, catchy business name will be easier for customers to remember. A memorable name helps drive repeat purchases and encourages that timid customer who is interested in your product but not ready to buy on the spot.
However, don't allow your business name to limit you from expanding in the future. For example, a name like "Sew Knotty" might make it difficult to incorporate a line of crochet clothes for kids.
Every U.S. state has its own set of business naming guidelines that you can typically find on your local Secretary of State (SOS) website. These laws exist to protect customers from misinterpreting the purpose of a business based on its name and to avoid confusion between businesses with similar names.
Similarly, the federal government has trademark laws that protect the reputation of trademarked businesses and discourage other businesses from creating confusion by adopting a name that resembles an existing trademark.
To check if your desired business name is available, conduct a business entity search either through your local SOS or through LegalZoom's business entity search service, which allows you to search businesses in a number of states in case you aim to expand your business later on.
You should also conduct a trademark search to ensure that the name doesn't have an existing trademark and avoid an unintentional infringement case.
Once you've found the perfect name for your crochet brand, register your new business or file a name reservation with your local Secretary of State to save the name and file at a later date. Generally, you can file online, in person, or by mail after downloading a paper form from the SOS website. Filing fees vary by state.
Make sure to check domain name availability before officially registering with your state. An online presence is important for your business to build credibility and reach a wider audience. You should set up an online presence immediately after reserving your name if the domain name is available.
There are lots of tools that can help you brainstorm unique crochet business names. Consult a thesaurus for alternative wording, seek advice from friends, family, or online forums, or use a name generator to review hundreds of options.
If you plan to offer other products in the future, you may not want to limit yourself to a business name that's specific to crochet. Consider using words like "handmade" or "crafts" when prompting the name generator instead.
Yes, you can change your business name later by filing to amend your articles of incorporation (if you’re a corporation) or articles of organization (for LLCs). However, you'll have to also change your name with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), your bank, and other organizations, which can be time-consuming and exhausting. Additionally, it may force you to rebuild your brand credibility.
Yes, a crochet business can be profitable with the right business strategy and effort. However, it may take time to build your business.
