The Founder
Hi! My name is Blessing Komolafe and I am the creator of the brand ‘Yarnover’
Yarnover is a mix of crochet and knit garments and accessories all made by my single pair of hands right here in Nigeria and in the comfort of my home, under the most favorable conditions.
As a slow fashion brand, all products are mostly ‘made to order’ and in small batches to avoid over production and wastage, with a lot of love and care put into the production of each and every stitch.
Yarnover is a brand founded upon my desire to bring to life ‘high quality’ ‘wearable art’ in the most unique manner best known to me.

My crochet journey started during the heat of the pandemic in 2020 when my sister casually suggested I start crocheting, believing it was something I would be good at due to my artistic/creative nature.
A reluctant me decided to give it a shot and all I can say is; the moment I picked up my very first hook and yarn I knew I was in it for the long run.
I officially launched my business a year later in the year 2021 and it has been bliss being able to dwell in the pure freedom the art of crochet provides, and also the freedom to share my creativity with all of you!
Crochet x knitwear is gradually but surely making a rise in the fashion industry and my goal is to make you see handmade garments in a new, more ‘modern’ light and ultimately make you want to own a Yarnover piece irrespective of your shape and size!
As a graduate with a Bsc in Microbiology, this is a path I never would have guessed I’d ever go down, but here I am loving every minute of it.
I’m glad you are here.
