Ordering and payment

Major debit and credit cards and the wallets offered at checkout on your device. Payments are encrypted and we never see your full card number.

Yes. Prices are in pounds sterling and include VAT, and delivery is free, so the amount you see at checkout is the total.

Email us as soon as possible with your order number. If it has not been dispatched we will change or cancel it; if it has, you can return it free of charge.

Yes, by email within a few minutes. Check your junk folder; if it is not there, email us and we will resend it.

Not at the moment. If that changes we will announce it in our newsletter.

Yes. Email us with your order number and we will send one by email.

Delivery

Delivery is free and tracked on every order, with no minimum spend.

Returns and your rights

You have 30 days from delivery to return an unused item in its original packaging free of charge. We send you a prepaid returns label.

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you can cancel within 14 days of delivery without a reason. Our 30-day returns promise is on top of that.

Within 14 days of us receiving your return, or proof that you have sent it, to your original payment method.

Your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 apply. Email us with a photo; within 30 days you can reject it for a full refund, and after that we repair, replace or refund.

Yes, for an unused item: tell us what you would like instead and we will exchange it or refund you, whichever is quicker.

Email us with a photo and we will send the right item or refund you in full, with the return paid by us.

Crafting help

Our craft conversion charts list old UK, metric and US sizes side by side, along with yarn weights and UK vs US crochet terms.

The same stitch can have a different name: a UK double crochet is a US single crochet, for example. Our guide and conversion chart list them all.

They are UK yarn weight names. DK (double knitting) is a light-to-medium weight; aran is thicker. Our yarn weights guide explains each one and its US equivalent.

14-count aida is the usual starting point: the holes are easy to see and two strands of stranded cotton cover it well.

A sturdy mechanical machine with straight, zigzag and buttonhole stitches is enough for most projects. Our sewing machine guide explains what matters.

Follow the age guidance on each kit, look for the UKCA or CE mark and supervise children with small parts, scissors and glue. Our safety guide explains the rules.

Yes. Email us what you are making and we will suggest suitable materials and quantities.

Keep them clean, dry and out of direct sunlight, in breathable or sealed containers depending on the material. Our craft storage department has organisers for every craft.
