  • Please try and source your patterns on Ravelry prior to visiting the store. If you need help using the Ravelry website you can find a guide here
  • Yarn winding: We cannot provide a 'while you wait' yarn winding service at the moment however you're welcome to leave your yarn to be wound for collection at a later date. Unfortunately we are unable to wind yarn that has not been purchased from us.
I have a shopping cart with a value less than $50. Why can't I use Afterpay or Zippay?

Because of the Merchant costs associated with using Afterpay and Zippay online, there is a minimum spend value of $50. This allows us to offer this method of payment without undue expense.
