👐🏼Hacky Sacks: A Small Tool with a Big Impact
Feeling a little on edge lately? Us too. That’s why we’re obsessed with one of the most surprisingly soothing items we carry: handmade crochet hacky sacks. They’re colorful, fun to toss, and perfect for stress relief when your day starts spiraling.
But here’s what makes them even more special—they’re hand-crocheted by artisans in Guatemala, each one lovingly stitched with care, tradition, and attention to detail. No two are the same, and that’s kind of the magic.
🧶 Did you know crochet can’t be replicated by machines? That’s right. Unlike knitting, crochet is so intricate that it can only be done by hand. That means each hacky sack is 100% unique—crafted slowly, mindfully, and full of personality.
🌎 Fair Trade & Full of Purpose: Hacky Sacks
These aren’t just fun toys or fidget tools. Our crochet hacky sacks are ethically made following Fair Trade guidelines,supporting women artisans in Guatemala who earn reliable income through their work.
We’re proud to work directly with our artisan partners (like Juana in the image below!) to create sustainable opportunities for families in rural communities. With every hacky sack you purchase, you're putting real impact into motion.
🧵 Who Makes These Magic Balls?
Meet the woman behind the stitches. Juana and her daughters are just a few of the talented artisans in our Guatemala team. They’ve mastered the craft of crochet over decades—learning from mothers, sisters, and abuelas.
To them, every hacky sack is more than a product. It’s:
🫶 A source of income that supports their families
🎨 A way to preserve cultural traditions
🌍 A connection to people like you who value thoughtful, handmade goods
