Getting started
Can complete beginners do your kits?
You bet! Over 30,000 people have learned a new hobby with our kits, and you can be next. Just follow the step-by-step video tutorials that come with each kit. Our crochet kits also come pre-started to get you over the first hump.
Which language are the tutorials in?
Our crochet tutorials are available in both Hindi and English. Every kit has a card inside; scan it to start the videos.
Can kids do your kits?
It depends. Our kits are made for ages 12 and up. How easily a child picks it up depends on how much they already enjoy arts and crafts, their hand-eye coordination, and how well they learn from videos. The candle making kit needs adult supervision because the wax is melted.
Can lefties do your kits?
Yes! Every beginner kit is designed for both right- and left-handed makers.
How long does one kit take?
Most people finish a crochet or punch needle kit in 1 to 3 hours. Candles take about 30–45 minutes to make, plus 24–48 hours to set. Embroidery and paper embroidery can be done at your own pace, a little each evening.
