A key part of the Product Academy was the interactive crochet demonstration led by crochet artist Jo Latuzzi, professionally known as Scarlet Stitch. During the session, attendees were guided through a small crochet-based micro project, showing how simple natural fiber projects can become scalable retail-ready crochet and DIY kit concepts under the Hemptique brand.
Featured craft kit concepts included beginner and intermediate crochet projects such as granny square kits, crochet coasters, soap holders, coin purses, cell phone holders and pouch kits. Each kit was developed to support hands-on learning with hemp yarn or cord, crochet hooks, printed instructions and tutorial support.
