Hi there!

I’m Olive Petrash, the creator behind Furriendly. Based in the heart of Colorado, I spend my days balancing homework, exploring the outdoors, and—most importantly—bringing yarn to life. I picked up my first crochet hook when I was 14, and what started as a way to stay busy during the winter months quickly turned into an obsession. There’s something so cool about taking a single strand of yarn and turning it into a 3D friend. Every animal I make is handstiched right here in Colorado. Whether it’s a tiny turtle for your desk or a giant gator for a gift, I focus on:

Small Biz Love: When you buy from me, you’re not just getting a toy—you’re helping a high school student build a dream (and maybe helping me save for my first car!).

Personality: No two animals are exactly the same; each one has its own little “soul.”
