World Crochet Map update
World Crochet Map launches its first Community Partner pilot in Texas
In collaboration with Brazos Valley Fiber Arts, the pilot is helping local crocheters add their dots and make the Texas crochet community visible on a global map.
Who Brazos Valley Fiber Arts is
Brazos Valley Fiber Arts is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) community organisation based in the Bryan–College Station area of the Brazos Valley, in Texas. It brings fiber artists together locally through classes, gatherings and regular sit-and-stitch meet-ups.
How the pilot works
Brazos Valley Fiber Arts invites its community to the map through a dedicated World Crochet Map page, a printed QR code, its own website and social channels, and its local September meet-ups. Anyone who crochets can add a city-level dot in under a minute, for free.
What we measure
For the duration of the pilot we look at four aggregated indicators only: visits to the partner page, sign-ups started, profiles created, and the conversion between them. Nothing is reported at the level of an individual person.
Privacy and independence
No personal data is shared with Brazos Valley Fiber Arts. This is not an affiliate programme: no commission is paid, and participation is free during the pilot phase. World Crochet Map remains an independent project.
Why we run it
The goal of this first pilot is to find out whether this model can help other clubs, guilds, associations and local communities make their own territory visible on the map. What we learn here will shape how the programme is offered elsewhere.
Bring your community to the map
