We started Mimihali because we wanted to bring back the kind of making that feels slow, thoughtful, and full of meaning. For Katie, it began at her own kitchen table with her two girls. 'We would spread out felt and thread, and while our hands worked, our conversations wandered. We stitched animals and ornaments, but also stories and memories.'

That’s why every kit we make comes with materials we trust in our own home — soft European wool felt, cotton floss, stuffing, needles, and pins, all tested for safety and chosen for their quality. The patterns are simple, with clear step-by-step instructions and video tutorials, so even beginners can enjoy the steady rhythm of stitching. Designed with Finnish style and assembled in Maine, our kits give you an easy way to slow down, make something real, and share a moment of calm.
