Everyone crochets at a different speed. We've heard from complete beginners that our beginner kits take anywhere between 3-8 hours.
It’s the answer we all dread – it depends. Our kits are made for kids 12+. Some factors that affect how easily a child can learn how to crochet are: how much they dabble in arts and crafts already, how much hand eye coordination they have, and how well they can learn physical skills from either video or photo + written content.
Yup, you can buy select Woobles beginner crochet kits in-person at stores throughout the US. Check out our list of stockists.
If you'd like to be able to snag a Wooble at your favorite local store, ask them to check out our wholesale page or contact us at [email protected].
Yep! The instructions to get to the pattern and tutorials will be on the back of the card that comes with their kit. No need to forward any emails 😊
We no longer sell patterns because we wanted to focus on the end-to-end experience though you’ll still be able to access patterns through our book, Crochet Amigurumi for Every Occasion. You can order it directly from Amazon.
At the moment, these are only available as part of the kits.
Right now, our tutorials are only available in English.

Shipping
We offer free standard shipping within the US on orders over $50, and to Canada on orders over $75 USD. Customers are responsible for paying all applicable taxes and duties. You can read the full shipping policy here.
We currently ship only to the US and Canada. We're still working on ways to ship to more countries and hopefully, we’ll be able to soon.
We send orders out within a few business days. We're based in NC, so the further you are from NC, the longer it'll take.
For orders going to Canada, please allow an extra 2-3 weeks for your package to arrive. Packages are sent out of the US by FedEx, and once they reach Canada, they’re handed off to Canada Post. Your tracking info will update once your package clears Canadian customs.
For orders to Canada, customers are responsible for paying all applicable taxes and duties.
Right now, we're not set up for super-speedy shipping because our small business is bustling with orders. Our warehouse crew is hustling to get your Woobles out ASAP.
Orders and Returns
Once your package is on its way, look out for an email with the subject "We're wooblin' on your order" that includes your tracking number. Make sure to check your spam/junk folders if you don't see this email in your inbox. If you still can't find it, email or text us with your order number.
You've got 14 days from when you receive your kits to return them. Shipping costs aren’t refundable, and you’ll be responsible for return shipping. To start a return, email [email protected] with your order number and reason for return.
We'll let you know once we've received and inspected your return if the refund is approved. If it is, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method. Remember, it might take a bit for your bank or credit card to process the refund. Read the full return policy here.
Yup, as long as your order is still processing, hasn’t been packed up, and a label hasn’t been created. Just a heads up, we can’t guarantee changes or cancellations once it’s placed. Please reach out to us at [email protected] as quickly as possible, and we’ll do our best!
Once an order is placed, we can't update the billing address. If your payment went through and you got a confirmation email, it means all’s well and your order will be sent out, hiccup free!
If your package was returned because of an incorrect address, send us the correct address so we can send a replacement to the right place.
If your package is marked as delivered but you don't have it:
- Wait a few more days - it might still be in transit
- Check with family, neighbors, or building management in case it was sent to someone else nearby by mistake
- Verify your shipping address with us
- Contact your local post office, since they might have it for pickup.
If you've tried these steps and still haven't gotten your package, let us know.
If you think you entered the wrong email when placing your order, reach out to us with your shipping address and phone number. We'll update your email address on file and resend the order confirmation to you.
If your order is defective or damaged, you received the wrong item, or if something’s missing, reach out to us so we can make it right.

- A screenshot of the problem
- How you encountered the error (e.g., scanned the QR code on the card with my iPhone, which led to https://learn.thewoobles.com/ on Safari, and got a blank white page).
- Your device (e.g., iPhone 13 Pro, Windows 10 desktop)

- Let us know if you're using an ad blocker, and if so, which one
Knots are pretty normal in the yarn spinning and dyeing process, so you'll bump into them now and then. The good news is – they're knot hard to deal with! Since you're making amigurumi, just hide the knot inside your piece. Keep crocheting until the knot is on the inside (the "wrong side" in crochet speak). If the knot ends up outside, cut it out and follow this video on how to add a new ball of yarn to your project. Learn more about knots here.
So sorry about that! Reach out to us at [email protected] and we'll get it sorted out for you ASAP.
