In August 2018, Lauren (founder and owner) applied for the CrateJoy Accelerator Program with an idea that was in its infant stages. To her surprise, Happy Hook Crocheting was selected for the program. Over the course of 12 weeks, the business was developed from an idea into reality and Happy Hook Crocheting launched in early November 2018 with the first box shipping out in December.
In October 2020, Happy Hook Crocheting changed its name to Yarn Bits Shop to clarify the overall brand and to emcompass the eventual goals to be a seller of many brands of yarn online. In additon, the Crochet Journey success path was added to provide further clarity of how to progress as a crocheter at all levels.
