Crochet uses a hook and yarn or thread to create fabric. It’s a very soothing rhythmic motion that has been proven to be an effective stress reliever. There are lots of different crochet stitches you can use to add texture and shaping.
Crochet hooks come in a range of sizes. The hook you choose will change the fabric you crochet. Fine yarn and a thin hook will create a dense fabric while the same yarn and a much thicker hook will create a loose loopy effect. You can even create a lace effect with Coton Perlé and a fine hook. You can use almost any thickness of yarn or thread to crochet. Learning to crochet with good quality yarn and accessories will make your experience more enjoyable. We sell a fantastic range of yarns and threads, crochet hooks and accessories.
If you already love crochet you’ll probably want to dive right in and select your favourite yarns and patterns. Our 1000 patterns program is a growing repository of free patterns that includes cute amigurumi and jewellery to crochet. We regularly release new patterns. Sign up to have them sent directly to your inbox. If you are just starting out it's a good idea to start with smooth yarn like Natura and a simple pattern with a basic shape, like a scarf. If you prefer a kit with everything you need, we have a wide range of crochet kits for you to explore.
