I've never been a crafty person, but.... I've never been a crafty person. I've tried knitting once, but I have small hands for my age and I could never hold the needle right. I kept getting ads for Woobles on my Facebook and Instagram and I saw how cute the penguin was and knew I had to atleast try it. It took me a couple weeks of doing a round or 2, stopping for a while and picking it back up before I finished the first project. It wasn't too easy, but it wasn't hard since there were video tutorials on how to do each part. Now, almost a year later I crochet almost every day and I spend arguably too much on yarn to make stuff with :-D. I don't regret it, and if you're looking for a new hobby, picking up a kit might work well for you.

I'm "hooked" This is without a doubt the best hobby I've picked up - and I have a long list of people I can't wait to make more woobles for. It helps calm my anxiety and makes me feel closer to my great grandmother who laid the foundations for this when I was 7. The tutorials are so helpful and clear, and the one question I couldn't find an answer to was clearly explained via email the next day. I am so happy to have found this hobby and I wouldn't be nearly as competent or confident without the woobles.

Where did the negative review go I’ve made dozens of their kits - accessories and full kits. I have left about a dozen five star reviews. I got one kit that didn’t have enough yarn (I crochet tight and never had this issue before). I left a negative review for it. Someone from customer service asked for details including photos of what I did (because apparently I’m not trustworthy). They said sorry and the negative review was never posted. I now don’t trust them. For the amount you get, it is very pricy but I was willing to pay that for learning a skill. Honest reviews are highly important especially for a $40 kit. If you want to try it, I’d recommend the basic beginner kits. Practice with those and then move on from Woobles. It’s unfortunate as I did like the company before that.

In theory this is fun and accessible In theory this is fun and accessible. In practice it’s a bit different. I crocheted with my grandma as a kid so I have a foundational knowledge, however, these kits, although packaged adorable, are much less accessible even to me. My daughter laughed at the final result, it didn’t look like the photo on the package! Overall, not relaxing, stressful, takes about 8-10 hours for one “Wooble.”

Just a heads up… Just a heads up…. My card was declined when I tried to purchase the Harry Potter bundle… on further investigation it looks like it was a mirror website that (thankfully) my bank had already flagged as fraudulent. Just be sure you are purchasing from the correct company.
