- Subashri Natarajan led MICQ, created the largest display of Crochet Squares in Chennai
Mother India's Crochet Queens (MICQ) set a new Guinness World Record by creating the largest display of crochet squares in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, with 100,581 pieces. The group, led by Subashri Natarajan, has transformed crochet into a tool for financial independence and social impact. They provide training, resources, and opportunities for women to turn their skills into livelihoods. The squares will be repurposed into scarves, ponchos, and garments, distributed to the Indian army, demonstrating warmth and solidarity.
Subashri Natarajan, the founder of Mother India's Crochet Queens, has claimed her sixth world record in crochet. Her mission is to unite women, uplift communities, promote financial independence, teach valuable skills, and help them turn their craft into a charity and livelihood. She connects crochet enthusiasts, runs schools, and provides necessary supplies, ensuring every 'Queen' has the necessary yarn, needles, and knowledge for various stitches.
MICQ provides women in India with a life-changing opportunity to learn, yarn, and earn, fostering creativity and social and financial contributions, breaking barriers by teaching young girls and women in villages and cities.
