OUR MAKER LIFE OFFERS CREATIVE CONNECTION FOR EVERY MAKER

We’re in our glow up era to support knitters & crocheters online and in person. Since 2016, OML has grown with the help of many incredible makers.

Today, we’re proud to continue that mission with a new chapter — focused, energized, and community-first. Our 2025 OML Brand Camp event is our new fresh focus with our classic ‘for makers by makers’ energy. It’s where warm community meets big business ambition.

We’re coming together to build bold, brilliant brands in the best way.

What began as “for makers, by makers” has grown into a vibrant celebration of real-life connection, fiber passion, and brand-building.

OML is a home for fiber artists, business owners, pattern designers, yarn dyers, industry leaders, content creators, and influencers all joining in a supportive and cozy community with the drive to create and elevate.
