About

Hi, I’m Vanessa,

I’m the woman behind Wool Goddess, a British crocheter, content creator, and visual storyteller, unapologetically embracing life, chronic illness, creativity, and womanhood over fifty.

Known for my radiant smile, Scouse accent, and obsession with red lipstick, I’m also a mum to five wonderful sons and a lover of floaty dresses in bold, joyful colours.

Formerly a Complementary & Alternative Therapist and proud member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (MFHT), I now channel my energy into promoting crochet as a therapeutic tool for healing, pain management with chronic illness, self-expression, and slowing down. Chronic illness may have changed my path, but it didn’t dim my light, or my mission to help others find theirs.

At Wool Goddess, you’ll find more than just yarn. This is a space where chronic illness, menopause, creativity, and conscious living meet. I believe healing is messy, magic is found in simple moments, and self-love is a daily practice; not a destination.

So whether you’re here for inspiration, comfort, or a colourful dose of crochet-fuelled joy, welcome.

You belong here.
