Instagram went dark

April 2025 · by Olexandr

We were 75,000 strong.
Then Instagram went dark.

We built Keepneedle from scratch — late nights, embroidery machines buzzing, hoodies flying off to anime fans all over the world.

Then one day… Poof. Our Instagram with 75,000 followers was gone.

Why?
Copyright.
Apparently, posting custom anime embroidery triggered the big dogs — and their bots didn’t care that we weren’t reselling merch, but creating something unique.

We get it. Sort of.
But it hurt. Months of work, community, feedback, growth — wiped clean.

So now we’re rebuilding.
Not from zero — because we’ve still got you.

And because Keepneedle was never just about likes or numbers. It’s about that moment when you open the package, touch the stitch, and think:

“Damn. They made this just for me.”

We’re still here. Still crafting. Still anime.
Only now, a little wiser, and with our own website — where no one can just pull the plug.

New updates and drops now live only here.
But we’ve also got a backup Instagram — just in case.
