Short Answer
Yes — peer-reviewed research shows that 89.5% of crocheters feel calmer after stitching (Corkhill et al., 2020). Crochet replaces passive scrolling with a tactile, creative activity that produces something real. A 14-year study found that active making beats passive screen time for wellbeing (Fancourt & Steptoe, 2019).
Doomscrolling is passive — it drains attention without producing anything. Crochet is active — it gives your hands something to do and your mind a rhythm to follow. The result is a physical object you made yourself. SammySam kits are designed to make this switch easy.
