Image Credits

Every photograph, illustration, and graphic on yarnwren.com is chosen with care, and this page explains where our images come from, how we license or credit them, and what to do if you believe your work has been used without proper permission. We take image ownership seriously, both to respect the original creators and to keep our crochet, amigurumi, and pattern content trustworthy for readers.

Where Our Images Come From

Most of the photographs featured across our stitches, wearables, home, and seasonal categories are original images taken by our own team while testing patterns, photographing finished amigurumi pieces, or documenting step-by-step tutorials. When we do not produce an image ourselves, we rely on one of the following sources:

• Paid stock photo and illustration libraries with commercial licenses that permit use on content websites.
• Royalty-free or public domain image collections that explicitly allow reuse without attribution, though we credit them anyway when possible.
• Images submitted directly to us by pattern designers, contributors, or readers who have granted permission for publication.
• Assets provided through brand or product collaborations, used with written consent from the partner.

We do not knowingly use copyrighted images without a license or explicit permission. If an image appears on our site without a visible credit, it typically means it falls under a license that does not require attribution, or it is an original photo created by our team.

Third-Party Attribution

When a specific image requires attribution under its license terms, we credit the photographer, illustrator, or platform directly beneath the image or within the surrounding text. If you are a contributor and would like your name, business, or social handle added or corrected on an image you provided, please reach out through our Contact page with the exact post URL and the credit line you would like to see.

Some images may originate from platforms like Pinterest, where users share crochet inspiration widely. Our approach to sourcing and linking such visual content is explained further in our Pinterest Disclaimer, which readers may find useful alongside this page.

Reuse and Permission Rules

Unless otherwise stated, the images published on yarnwren.com are intended for viewing on our site and for personal, non-commercial inspiration only. If you would like to reuse one of our original photographs — for example, in a blog post, a printed publication, or a social media graphic — please contact us first to request permission. We are generally happy to allow limited reuse with proper credit and a link back to the original page, but this is decided on a case-by-case basis.

Please do not republish our images in bulk, sell them, alter them and present them as your own work, or use them in a way that misrepresents the original pattern or tutorial. These restrictions exist to protect both our team's work and the third-party creators whose images we license.

Requesting Credit or a Correction

We do our best to attribute every image correctly, but mistakes happen, especially when managing hundreds of posts across crochet, amigurumi, DIY, and seasonal collections. If you notice a missing, incorrect, or outdated credit line, please email us at [email protected] with:

• The exact URL of the page containing the image.
• A description or screenshot of the image in question.
• Proof of ownership or the license terms you would like us to reference.
• The correct credit line, if applicable.

We review these requests promptly and update the page once we have confirmed the details.

Takedown Requests

If you believe an image on yarnwren.com infringes your copyright and was published without a valid license or permission, please contact us right away at [email protected]. Include the page URL, a description of the image, and evidence of your ownership. We take these claims seriously and will remove or replace the image while we investigate, typically within a few business days of receiving a complete request.

Our broader stance on liability for content and images published on this site, including third-party submissions, is outlined in our Disclaimer, and how we handle sponsored or partner-provided visuals is covered in our Disclosure page.
