Crochet is a rewarding way to pass the time; however, without some essential tools, it can become uncomfortable and frustrating.

A stash of ergonomic crochet hooks can make the experience more comfortable, particularly on larger projects. Our kits are great for those who are new to the craft, the 7 piece kit has colourful handles and comes in a storage case.

The Pony hooks with their easy grip handle will fast become a favourite. Pony also has a range of Bamboo hooks for those that crochet as they travel. We also a Crochet Master Hook Kit of metal hooks in sizes 0.75cm to 6.5cm.

Once the final stitch is complete, a yarn needle will be necessary to weave your ends in for a polished look. The Hemline Yarn Needles are easy to thread and ideal for assembling crocheted garments.

Safety pins are perfect for keeping track of stitches and rows. When working with a pattern, miscounting your chain is frustrating. By placing a safety pin in every tenth chain it makes counting easier. They can also be recycled and have many other non-crochet uses.

It can be frustrating to create an item such as a beanie and have it not fit. A tape measure can be used for measuring a swatch to establish if the tension matches the pattern. Two people using the same equipment, yarn and pattern can produce different results due to their tension, and the tension of the pattern creator. Creating a swatch and measuring your tension will aid in achieving a beanie that fits.

These Klasse snips are perfect for trimming yarn and are less likely than scissors to get borrowed by other members of the family. The Klasse snips have soft grips, sharp blades and are 12cm x 4.5cm.  These snips are comfortable and affordable.
