      I've tried learning how to crochet for many years & wasn't happy that I couldn't comprehend it. I finally decided to give Woobles a try & this weekend I finished a ghostie, it took me awhile but it came out pretty good. By the way Benson is so adorable!

    I work at a craft store and these little kits are constantly out of stock because people love them so much! On average I'd say most people buy two at the same time, and we get calls a lot asking if specific kits are in stock. I love the way they've been opening the door for more people to start crocheting--especially kids.

      I wonder why since kits are always twice if not three times more expensive than if you just bought everything separately yourself. A blanket kit I saw was selling for almost 200$ but the yarn and needles they give you would have cost seventy dollars max. In reality you could knit a decent actual quality-sized blanket instead of a tiny one for 200$ with the highest quality yarn you could find.

    I taught myself to crochet mostly using TH-cam videos during covid. I did have trouble judging which videos showed actual beginner projects and which were a bit too hard for true beginners. Even so, I spent a lot less money. I couldn't justify the very high price tag for wobbles compared to just getting yarn and watching TH-cam videos for free.

      Yeah, my aunt bought a bunch of these during COVID and gave them to me when I started showing interest in crochet. She never made one, and I didn't want to have to count stitches and use markers. So, I just found beginner videos online. I learned a single crochet and made 80 squares for a blanket. And I learned a double crochet and made 4 scarves for my family for Christmas. Now, I'm making a beanie. I felt it was easier learning one stitch and getting really good with it and then moving on once you get the dopamine from completing a project.

    CROCHET TIP!!!
    I just did this the other day, I copied a pattern (from a blog) into a google doc and that way I can access it on my phone and I HIGHLIGHT the bits as I go through them, it is for an animal which requires better attention to where you are and what you are doing. this gives you no doubt where you are...assuming you remember to highlight as you go. You can reset and reuse when you are done. I typically write them out in a notebook (I always include credit even though its just for me) and I will use a stickynote to show which step I left off in, but this way you can stop mid round/row/whatever with no doubt!!! Im probably not the first person to do this but it was ground breaking lol

I was hooked after my first and bought more after that☺️ also teaches you how to read patterns which has led me onto learning other projects and I have even referenced their tutorial videos on TH-cam if I needed a refresher on a type of stitch. I’m glad you got to try them as well and see they are great!

    The kits are 90% marketing. There are tons of cute kits for $5-10 that come with all the supplies, and there are FREE beginner videos. A skein of yarn, crochet hook, stuffing and safety eyes will run $15-20 at any craft store if you dont want a kit. I couldn't believe someone would pay $40 plus shipping for a simple project. I still can't.

      I’ve done woobles and I’ve done other kits. Woobles is so much better- the yarn is super approachable for beginnings because you can actually see your stitches and never worry about them getting snagged. The instructions are also insanely detailed and include a help section that shows you ways to fix any problem you might be encountering. Obviously it’s not worth it for someone who knows how to crochet, but for an absolute beginner it’s amazing

An aluminum hook which is great for beginners will be $3-at most. Not everyone has the money to drop $40 or more on a kit to make a teeny tiny thing. And you only get a single pattern with the kit, meanwhile there are *endless* FREE online video tutorials. If you think about it, you’re not really getting anything special with buying those particular kits as opposed to the $8 ones from your local craft store. I feel like they just market them a lot thru social media so people buy into the hype. The rationed yarn and single pattern just feels so gimmicky considering the massive price tag! Granted, if that’s how you learned then great! But at the end of the day, people can just as easily learn on TH-cam

      I think I’d definitely get them one of these if you can afford it. There’s cute unicorns and stuff on the website and the marketing with the names and backstories of the animals, the colourful packaging and the pre-portioned yarn takes all thinking out of it so they can concentrate on just the learning. They ARE horribly expensive though. Maybe you could make your own kit by finding a cute pattern online and giving them the yarn they need and you yourself are the tutorial?!

    I tried learning to crochet before with free tutorials and it really is just incredibly hard to explain the basics via video. Instagram shoved woobles down my throat for months and I finally caved and got some. By the third kit I was just reading the pattern. I did buy a few more cause I liked the specific pattern but it’s definitely NOT worth it if you already crochet unless you love a pattern. If you dont know where to start just buy one or two beginner ones and maybe one with a cluster stitch (like the llama or santa) and you’ll be off to the races.
    one of the rare expensive, heavily marketed items that’s actually completely worth it for the audience they say they’re for.

    To be fair though, I was already a crafter. If you don’t have much experience working with your hands then you might prefer a dedicated kit. The fact that they start you with a magic loop is pretty big because it was the toughest part of the whole process for me.

      I wasn't a dedicated crafter, at most I started cross stitch and didn't finish.
      The kit is just very pricey. I got a crochet hook for £2, 100g yarn for £2 and was able to learn through video tutorials on TH-cam. There's so many and you can slow the video down as well. So glad I did because I love knitting and crochet.
      I can understand Paying £40+ for actual classes where you sit with the person teaching you though.
      Woobles is a basic kit. The best thing about the woobles is the type of yarn it uses to practice with, easy to see stitches but that doesn't justify the price for me. You can buy t-shirt yarn yourself 🤷

    Like other comments I’ve seen, The Woobles is how I got into crochet and learned the very basics. It also gave me the confidence of being able to complete a project - however, I wish they would just sell their patterns without the entire kit for more experienced crocheters, especially for people who learned from their kits!
    I feel like they would have the loyalty but of course after paying so much to basically just learn to crochet and start out, there is no real reason to keep going back to them for full kits.
    They hold a special place in my heart! It was worth it in the beginning. But I can’t bring myself to buy their kits anymore due to the price and now having all my own supplies. The patterns are the only real thing of value anymore to me personally.
    Love them for beginners! And wish them success!

    Amazon sells the Skeins of the Woobles yarn, by the Woobles themselves. Don't have the safety eyes they use, but I like that I can buy the yarn again even though its a little pricy at $11.99 on sale for one skein.

    I just did a woobles kit. I needed to space out and finish a project. It took me a total of 2 hours…. Buttttt with 4 hours of watching Christmas movies. 😂😂😂 I did the phoenix that I bought a year ago. I have done around 7 of them. And my husband just bought me TONS more for Christmas. I think. I saw a huge woobles box in the garage! 😂😂😂

    Honestly I love these kits. They are expensive so probably not the best to learn on a budget, but I had tried other ones before and just never could get the hang of what to do for certain stitches. Like the magic loop was impossible to me. And the yarn is super nice, since it doesn't pull apart at all.

    I got a woobles kits with NO idea of how to crochet, never picked up a hook, never touched yarn. And now I'm truly a crochet addict. I can attest that the kits are great for beginners. Probably not worth it when you already know how to crochet except for maybe some of their collabs (I got a few of the BT21 characters they did and love them).
    You can buy their yarn separately. It's not my fav look for amigurimis but their yarn is easy to work with and great for beginners too. I was seriously fooled into thinking all yarn will be easy and when I got normal yarn after to make a hat I was like why does this keep splitting! But I've learned how to handle normal yarn now too. :)

    I got a set of 4 kits as a birthday present. I’ve done the penguin and the dinosaur. I’m a beginner at crochet and I think the kits are worth the price based on the amazing video tutorials. I’ll watch tricky parts over and over until I get it right. If I were to go take a class there would be the fee for the class and I wouldn’t have that opportunity to repeat parts that were difficult.

    I started with a Pierre the Penguin one and it was immediately very clear that I had a talent for crocheting. Within 24 hours I made 3 stuffed animals and 2 shirts. To be fair I was immobile because I had just broken my ankle. But ever since then i’ve been addicted to crocheting. I actually have turned part of my room into a yarn/craft room 😂

    I watched a few videos from the wobbles TH-cam page and they are really great people and they did a lot of trial and error to get those magic rings worked in on a large scale!
    Also, when somebody is a beginner and you have a lot of little projects, I feel like that’s better and you get satisfaction very quickly and a gift that will last longer than a day! lol

    @Toribell1928 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I recommend these if you have ADHD like me. I tried to crochet by myself first, trying to learn the “right” way with granny squares, etc. I got bored and confused and then gave up. The kits are expensive but the cheapest one is $30 and teaches you how to crochet. Yes, there’s free tutorials on YT but they are not as detailed and assume some level of skill already, not for complete beginners. I pick up and give up hobbies quickly so being able to see if I actually like it without getting tons of yarn was great for me. Also I have an adorable penguin now!

    i have a ton of yarn and am not a newbie but i still love to see little novelties like this and challenge myself to make small cute stuff.

  • @EFergDindrane
    @EFergDindrane ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I do NOT know how to crochet, and I'm getting a Woobles for the holiday, since it's basically designed for ignoramouses like me who need 1000 videos and handholding. It's definitely worth it for me, if I can actually learn this time, as books never really worked for me. The perfect yarn for beginners will be huge, I think--fuzzy yarns make it so hard for me to see where I'm supposed to jab the hook in, or to see individual stitches to count.

    I bought 5 kits from them, I got Fred the Dinosaur, Reese the Mallard, Billy the Unicorn, Gertrude the Lama and Sebastian the Lion. I thought I was gonna give them all away because as a straight man and I usually decorate my spaces with tubs of protein powder and creatine, and weapons but after making the dinosaur and the mallard I decided to keep them both in my office because they're adorable, and as a close relative to the duck species, the mallard helps me solve my software engineering problems.
    Then I gave unicorn for my friend's daughter she was super excited especially knowing that I made it. And finally Gertrude for my niece and Sebastian for my nephew. It's December 23rd and tomorrow I have to finish them on top of all the other pre-Christmas tasks I have to do but one thing's for sure, they are not getting my mallard, I need him for my code.

  • @purpleheart3431
    @purpleheart3431 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I tried two wobbles kits as an intermediate crocheter who makes amigurumi commonly, and honestly I don’t get the hype. My mom who doesn’t crochet at all didn’t really like them either and just preferred following free TH-cam tutorials. I’m so glad they worked for others though!❤

  • @khills
    @khills 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You left out one thing that the price also gets you: help! There’s a full FAQ and if that doesn’t help you troubleshoot your problem, you get a real live human being. (You also get a considerable amount of leftover yarn. I got my first kit last week, and spending about 2 hrs a day, finished my narwhal in about 4 days - which included redoing the horn for several hours because I’m special.) While I didn’t need the tech support, just knowing that if I really got stuck, there was literally someone available to talk to me was really nice.
    I’ll probably move on from the company and purchase yarn and patterns on my own relatively quickly - and a better crochet hook for my disabled hands - but I’ll also probably continue to buy the occasional cute kit, because some of them really are adorable. Especially their Halloween and Christmas-themed kits!

  • @nicolelavigne1700

    As much as I love The Woobles and have gotten MANY kits, I agree they are not cost effective once you already know how to crochet. For learning though, the beginner kits are fantastic. The videos are quite good, though yes they use a mix of custom videos for the specific project and general videos. But the other piece they deserve credit for is it's not even just the video tutorials but the customer support they offer to help people learning to crochet. You can email or text them questions and get help understanding the patterns. They can even set up a video session with you to really coach you if you are stuck. So all of that is pretty awesome. And when I cave and get kits because they are just so cute even though I'm not a beginner anymore, I console myself with the knowledge that I am supporting not just a small business but also for them to offer that level of assistance to customers.

    The yarn alone is great for beginners since you dont have to worry about the yarn splitting but you can buy their brand of yarn separately or a similar style for cheaper elsewhere.

    An interesting video concept would be all of your handmade pants and if you actually wear them. I remember that first videos of yours that I saw were the ones where you made some funky pants. So that is how I still remember you in my head. But I never see you wear them. Oh and I remember you used to say a "dandy" greeting which I really liked :) I am just a sentimental person :D

    Ann Behney...Love your channel and you and the doggies. I'm wondering if you saw Taylor Swift's handsewn pastel yo-yo's dress shown on tv about 2 weeks ago for an event or ad; I can't find a picture of it anywhere now. You may not know what yo-yo's are. They are fabric cut in circles, turned under about a 1/4 " and basted on the wrong side of fabric; then pulled up on the right side into a gathered circle and knotted so they don't lose their round shape. The dress had all sizes of yo-yo's and it seemed to be made of cotton. If anyone could do this project, it certainly would be you. I'm sure it is a project that would take some time but you are a hardworking person that could do.
