General Questions
All the general jazz you might want to know about our crafty kits 🧶
Who designs your kits?
We do! Our founder Nakisah designs and develops every single kit that you'll find at Craft Club, making them totally unique to our brand.
We go to great lengths to develop high quality kits and educational support that you wont find anywhere else. Our kits are specially designed to look amazing, no matter what your skill level is. And we promise that even if you're a nervous newbie, you'll be able to make something you're proud to show off!
I'm a total newbie, is it actually easy to make a Craft Club kit?
Yes! Our mission here at Craft Club is to make creativity as accessible as possible, and we do this by making DIY kits that have been designed to look wonderful when complete no matter what your skill level is! To help you on your creative journey, we have detailed guides and video tutorials for all of our kits. So you can trust that you'll actually finish your kit and LOVE what you make, when you order from Craft Club.
I'm a crafty pro, why should I try a Craft Club kit?
If you're a crafty pro, we can guarantee you'll have a fun time with a Craft Club kit even if you already have other creative skills. What makes our latch-hooking and moss kits so appealing for skilled crafters is that they're a great chance to relax and do something mindful when you need a break from your main hobby. And we have lots of customers who are craft pros, who still like to do a Craft Club kit when they need to purposefully slow down. Whether you're used to counting crochet stitches or knitting up complex patterns, crafts like latch hooking are a thoughtful way to relax whilst still feeling productive.
What craft kit is right for me?
New to craft? Try a Latch-Hooking kit!
They are so simple its virtually fool-proof. With only one technique to learn, we can guarantee that any one of any skill level can complete their very own fluffy rug or cushion ... except perhaps a newborn baby. We've also designed and developed each kit to look amazing no matter your skill, so you can guarantee that your latch-hooked piece will look just like the photos on our website when you're finished.
Love trying new things? Go for a Moss kit!
They are wonderfully textural and so much fun to make. Each kit includes 4-5 different weaving techniques (all with accompanying video tutorials, PHEW) so you're never going to get bored. They're also more creatively liberating so that you can really make your piece unique to you!
Start a skill you'll have forever? Embroidery Kits are for you!
Embroidery is a classic craft that is famous for a reason. It's known worldwide and is something you've likely seen in all kinds of places, from historical movies to the fashion you wear. Embroidery is great because its a buildable skill that you can use in so many different ways. Our kits are a great foundation for teaching you the most common stitches you'll find, and ones that you will use again and again in future projects.
Looking for methodical and satisfying? Time for a Cross Stitch Kit.
Cross Stitch is the simpler sibling to embroidery. Its technically a form of embroidery where you are stitching lots of little 'X's into a pattern, almost like pixel art. What makes it so satisfying is that once you've got the technique down pat you don't need to worry so much about making each stitch perfect. Instead you can just work methodically following the pattern, and slowly you will reveal your finished design!
What ages are your kits suitable for?
Our latch-hooking kits are recommended for ages 6+ as they use a simple technique that kids can pick up really easily (in fact, it's usually kids that pick it up faster than the parents!). Our latch hooking kits include a latch-hook which is not sharp, making it perfect for busy kids hands. The yarn is also pre-cut so kids don't need to use sharp scissors when making a rug or cushion.
Our moss kits are recommended for ages 8+ as they have some small pieces, such as sewing needles and pom pom scissors. While the scissors in this kit aren't too sharp, they are still used for cutting and should be used with supervision of parents for younger kids. Other tools included such as the weaving needles and latch-hooks are safe for children ages 6+.
Our embroidery kits and cross stitch kits are recommended for ages 8+ as they include sewing needles and will require some kind of scissors to cut the threads. It's common for children as young as 5 or 6 to start needle craft hobbies like embroidery or cross stitch, however we would always recommend doing so with adult supervision so that it is safe
Are you kits suitable for someone in recovery?
We're proud to share that our latch-hooking kits are a great recovery gift to a loved one who is recently out of surgery or who may need to stay home for their health. All of our latch-hooking kits can be done in bed comfortably and our premium tools are much easier to stitch with than lower quality alternatives. Latch-hooking is also a technique that is low impact on your hands and will work for someone with lower grip strength. It's also great for training strength and hand-eye coordination if your loved one does need to build back their confidence using their hands.
Finally our kits are designed to be very forgiving in nature! With the designs printed brightly on the canvas, and larger stitch size they're suitable for someone who might find it hard to see smaller detail. And even if mistakes are made, we promise that your cushion or rug will still look just as beautiful as the photos on our website.
Our other kits such as moss, embroidery and cross stitch are also suitable for someone recovering or staying at home, although different kits will suit different people!
Our moss kits include a variety of stitches and are great for someone wanting to stay entertained while in bed. But they do take a little more space, so prepare for that bed to be covered in different yarns and textures! Because our moss kits have so many techniques and videos, we only include a digital guide. So if your loved one doesn't like to use a screen, then our other kits would be better as their instructions are all printed physically.
Our embroidery and cross stitch kits are great for staying in bed because they are both compact and don't take up much space. They are both satisfying and creative, allowing your loved one to make something they'll love whilst in recovery. One thing to consider is that they are smaller in size and require around the same eyesight as reading would, so glasses and a good light are recommended especially if they might stitch at night.

Will I be charged duties?
Craft Club is not responsible for any duties and taxes if you are ordering from overseas. Each customer is responsible for paying their own duties and taxes upon collection of their parcel. In most countries our kits are below the price threshold for paying duties and taxes, however if you are concerned please do your own research on the requirements in your country.
What is Shipping Protect?
Don't sweat the small stuff! Our Shipping Protect option is available to give you peace of mind when making an online order with Craft Club. It covers the loss of your order when it is in the hands of the courier. Whilst this doesn't happen often, we all know that couriers can mess up from time to time. And our Shipping Protect option guarantees that you are covered.
If your parcel is lost or marked as stolen by the courier, then we will organise a replacement kit. If a replacement is not available, then you can swap your order for a similar product or get a refund.
Please note, if you ask the courier to leave the parcel in the open such as on a doorstep accessible to the public then we are unable to send a replacement. Most couriers will not leave a parcel in the open unless you have given them permission via previous communication. For this reason, we recommend you collect your parcel later or wait for a redelivery while you are home, rather than risk it being left in a public space. If it is left in a privately accessible place (such as an apartment lobby or with a receptionist) then we can cover it for theft.
How will my order be packaged?
At Craft Club we try to do our best when it comes to shipping our parcels in the most sustainable and waste-minimising way possible. We ship our parcels using 100% home compostable mailers whenever possible. We also don't print out receipts or packing sheets inside your parcel to minimise extra paper waste, instead we will send you a digital confirmation that you can refer to if needed. Our Thank You cards also double as a mindfulness tracker! Instead of throwing it out as soon as you receive your parcel, you can keep this tracker to make note of how often you craft with your kit. When you're ready to dispose of your thank you card, it is 100% recyclable.
Do you offer pickup?
Sadly we aren't able to offer pick up for orders.
Where are your warehouse locations?
We have two warehouse locations: one in Sydney, Australia and another in Brisol, UK.
Most of our global orders are shipped from our Australian warehouse, using safe and trusted carriers such as DHL Express and Auspost. Our UK and European orders are all shipped from our UK warehouse, using Royal Mail for express shipping options and Evri for cost-effective options.
Some kits aren't available in my country. Why? 😢
If you can't find the kit you are looking for, it might not be available in our warehouse in your country.
Because we are Australian-based small business, some of our new released products are made available in our Sydney warehouse first, before our UK warehouse. We're sorry about any disappointment!
But don't fret! If you are UK based and there is a particular kit or design you'd like shipped to you, we can do this from our Sydney warehouse, yay. Simply browse other kits by changing the currency at the top of the website to USD or AUD, you can then reach out to us at hello@craftclubco.com to order internationally.
Latch-Hooking
All the deets you might need about latch-hooking.
What is rug making?
There are many types of rug making, from rag rugs to rug tufting! Our rug making kits use a technique called latch-hooking to help you create a wonderful rug with no previous skills needed. We’ve designed our kits to be as easy as possible to complete - which means no messy glue or stitching necessary!
What is latch hooking?
Latch hooking is a form of rug making where you fill a canvas (that’s the material you stitch on) with yarn knots to create a full rug. The knots are made with the help of a metal latch-hooking tool. The great thing about latch-hooking is that you only need to learn one technique to create your entire rug! No need to learn and memorise complicated techniques.
Traditionally latch-hooking is made with a blank canvas and a pattern would be used to make the design. You would also cut your own pieces of yarn, which can take a fair bit of time when you need 100s of pieces! What makes our kits so special is that our canvas is pre-printed with your design and your yarn is pre-cut by us. AND we stitch on the backing of the rug for you, so it’s ready to use as soon as you’ve finished.
What this means for you is you’re guaranteed to be able to complete your masterpiece easily! No need to be an artist, no creative skills needed. In fact, the whole point of our kits is to empower your creativity so you can go on your merry way and make more amazing things. HOORAY!
How long does it take to make a rug?
Each rug will take between 15-30hrs to complete, depending on how quickly you are working. What I like to say is that it’s about a month of casual but frequent stitching. So if most weeknights you do a bit of stitching while watching TV, you’ll have created your own piece in only a month!
Remember, making your own rug is all about the journey. Take this time to relax and have some guilt-free me time. Because our rugs are pre-printed they are the perfect craft for multitasking. Fully enjoy your creative time by watching your favourite show or listening to a podcast at the same time! Take a deep breath and enjoy your creative self.
What's included in a rug making kit?
Everything you need to make your very own beautiful rug for your home! Our kits include a high quality pre-backed canvas with printed design, pre-cut yarn in every colour you will need (plus extra for practice and mistakes!), a premium wooden latch-hook and detailed instructions. We also include a QR code to our video tutorials online!
The only extra thing you’ll need is a pair of scissors. We recommend using medium sized scissors that are nice and sharp so you get clean cuts on your yarn.
You can use any scissors you’re comfortable with, but we love our ‘Rug Trimming Scissors’ as they are the perfect size for working on your rug. They are extra sharp and made of high quality steel. Plus they look pretty damn cute in a craft box too!
What materials are used in the rug making kits?
We use acrylic yarn in our rug making kits, as it allows us to make a large sized rug and sell it at a price point that is as accessible as possible.
We also use premium latch hooks in our kits, made from sturdy stainless steel and wood. They will last you a lifetime of latch-hooking.
How is the rug kit packaged?
We’ve tried to be as sustainable as possible with our packaging. Our packaging is 100% recyclable and we’ve minimised the use of plastic as much as we can.
The box that our rug kit comes in is natural cardboard and we ship them as-is with no additional packaging.
The only plastic in our kits is the thin plastic that holds our rolls of yarn together. This plastic is 100% recyclable when you use the soft plastics recycle bin at your local grocery store.
How big are the rugs?
Each rug has it's own unique measurements depending on it's size and shape. You can see the exact measurements of each design on the product page.
Our larger rugs are approximately bath mat sized, between 60-70cm in diameter depending on the design.
We're working on reducing our rug sizes marginally as we received lots of feedback that the rugs were super fun but take a long time to complete! Our new sizes will be approximately 48-50cm (instead of 57-60cm). This makes them large enough to stand out in your space, but small enough to be easily completed!
If you want a larger piece, our XL LILAC BLOOM Rug is super sized and sits at 70cm in diameter!
Do I need any other supplies?
For all of our craft kits you will need a pair of scissors.
For our rug making kits we recommend using medium sized scissors that are nice and sharp so you get clean cuts on your yarn. You can use any scissors you’re comfortable with, but we love our ‘Rug Trimming Scissors’ as they are the perfect size for working on your rug. They are extra sharp and made of high quality steel. Plus they look pretty damn cute in a craft box too!
If you’re working on a cross stitch kit we recommend using scissors that are either small or medium in size - avoid your kitchen scissors if you can! Both are ‘Embroidery Scissors’ and ‘Rug Trimming Scissors’ are great for cross stitching. This is because both have a sharp smaller blade that is perfect for precise snipping.
How can I use/display my rug?
Our rugs have been designed with a sturdy backing meaning that you can display it on your floor as soon as you’ve completed it! How easy is that?
If you’re more keen to display your masterpiece at eye-level, our rugs are perfect for hanging on your wall! Just as you would with a poster or tapestry piece. Check out our next FAQ to see how to hang up your rug.
PSA pets love our rugs. We mean it. If you have a cat or a dog (or any other cuddly pet for that matter) we promise they will find your finished rug like a heat seeking missile. It’s for this reason that we highly recommend using your rug as a pet bed! Your fur child will thank you for your sacrifice.
Our rugs can also be used as decorative throws on your bed or sofa. They look great draped over the back of an armchair or layered with some cushions. There’s so many funky things you can do with your handmade piece of decor!
How do I hang up my rug on the wall?
We recommend using adhesive hooks to hang your masterpiece up on your wall. Our favourites to use are the Command Hooks in their 'decorating hooks' size. The backing on your rug has lots of tiny little holes which can easily hold onto the adhesive hooks.
You will need at least 3 hooks to hang up your rug, one for the highest point and two for either side of that point. For a round rug that means the top point of your rug and the two sides. For a rectangle rug, you will hook both corners of the rug and then hook the middle top for extra support.
Take your time when hanging up your rug - they do need a bit of readjusting to make them totally even. But it’s worth the fuss!
How will my rug kit be sent?
It is a priority for us to ship our kits with as little negative impact on the environment as possible! Which is why we use an eco-option for all of our shipping.
If you are ordering a single rug kit, your rug will be sent without additional packaging in order to minimise waste. Your kit will be sealed with plastic-free shipping tape and the shipping label stuck on the outside of the kit. The cardboard box our kits come in is very sturdy, and we’ve never had issues shipping it as is! And our kits have travelled all around the world.
If you order multiple kits they will be shipped in either a biodegradable polymailer or a cardboard box which is 100% recyclable.
If you’ve ordered any accessories such as our rug trimming scissors, these will be included inside your kit.
How do I wash my finished rug?
We DO NOT recommend putting your finished rug inside the washing machine. This is a handmade piece and should be treated with extra care to ensure it lives a long life.
Our rugs can be hand washed with either cold or lukewarm water and a mild detergent. To remove general dirt, let the rug soak in this water for a few minutes and lay flat to dry. If you have a specific stain you can give it a gentle scrub with your hands to spot clean.
If a small area of your rug has been particularly damaged (let’s say you dropped a piece of chocolate and it melted) you can even take out the stained pieces of yarn and latch-hook new knots into that space using the excess yarn that came with your kit. Whist this is not recommended for larger areas (you don’t want to re-make the whole rug) it is a good solution for any sticky situations.
Cross Stitch Kits
What is cross stitching?
The see cross stitching as embroidery’s easier younger sibling. Cross stitch (or x-stitch) is a form of embroidery that involves stitching tiny little ‘x’ shapes into fabric that is pre-made with holes. Each ‘x’ comes together to make a picture, kind of like pixel art!
The Aida fabric is kind of like a grid, and each ‘x’ has it’s spot on the grid according to your pattern. Starting from the middle (where the red lines are) you will count spaces on your grid and stitch an ‘x’ where the coloured squares are on your pattern.
The great thing about cross stitching is that it really doesn’t require any existing knowledge or skills in embroidery. As you’re only making little ‘x’s, it’s foolproof! There’s no need to perfect your skills in different stitch types and it’s super easy to unstitch and mistakes.
The only thing you need to cross stitch is the ability to count your pattern. Simple as that!
What is included in a cross stitch kit?
Everything you need to make your very own masterpiece to display on your wall. Our kits include high quality fray-resistant Aida fabric, an embroidery hoop (or 3x hoops if you’ve ordered a mini kit), easy pattern and instructions, full packs of 100% cotton thread, 2x needles and threaders, and finally some ribbon to display your finished piece!
One thing that makes our kits super special and packed with value is that we give you full skeins of thread for every single colour you’ll need. A skein is the name we use to describe a little bundle of thread. That’s a ton of thread! That’s enough thread to make your piece multiple times over.
The reason we love to add so much extra thread in your kit is because it allows you to start your very own thread collection which you can use as you grow in your creative journey. How incredible is that?!
The only extra thing you’ll need is a pair of scissors. We recommend using scissors that are either small or medium in size - avoid your kitchen scissors if you can! Both our ‘Embroidery Scissors’ and ‘Rug Trimming Scissors’ are great for cross stitching. This is because both have a sharp smaller blade that is perfect for precise snipping.
Traditionally latch-hooking is made with a blank canvas and a pattern would be used to make the design. You would also cut your own pieces of yarn, which can take a fair bit of time when you need 100s of pieces! What makes our kits so special is that our canvas is pre-printed with your design and your yarn is pre-cut by us. AND we stitch on the backing of the rug for you, so it’s ready to use as soon as you’ve finished.
What this means for you is you’re guaranteed to be able to complete your masterpiece easily! No need to be an artist, no creative skills needed. In fact, the whole point of our kits is to empower your creativity so you can go on your merry way and make more amazing things. HOORAY!
How long does it take to finish a cross stitch?
Now this really depends on the pattern you’ve chosen, the more space that is filled by the design, the longer it will take to stitch.
If you’re a beginner and want to start with something easy, we recommend our ‘Floral Friends’ designs (that’s our ‘Cat Amongst the Pot Plants’, our ‘Pup & the Plants’ and our ‘Bee & Blossom’ designs as they all have quite a bit of white space. They’ve been designed to have ‘chunks’ you can work on slowly, which means you will complete your piece methodically within a few sessions of stitching!
Our larger pieces, such as our ‘Picnic Basket’ bundle will take a bit longer to stitch because more of the hoop is filled with the design. This doesn’t make them significantly harder to stitch - they just require a bit more time. We recommend these for motivated beginners or experienced stitchers.
In general a piece will take anywhere between 4-20hrs to stitch. If you’re a newbie it might take a few hours to really get used to stitching and learning how to stitch faster. But if you’ve got stitching experience, you’ll be able to whizz through your piece while watching your favourite show.
Remember, creating something with your own hands is all about the journey. Take this time to relax and have some guilt-free me time. We highly recommend putting on a podcast or a familiar movie while you stitch. Take a deep breath and enjoy your creative self!
What materials are used in a cross stitch kit?
Our cross stitch kits use high quality materials for every element.
The thread we use is 100% cotton and is industry leading in quality. If you’ve used many brands of thread before you’ll notice that our threads are great to work with for both cross stitch and embroidery.
We use 14 count fray-resistant aida in our kits. It is super high quality and made with a poly blend as this allows us to provide a sturdy surface for stitching that won’t fall to pieces while you work. This also means that you don’t need to tape the edges of your piece like you would with other needlework projects that fray.
Our hoops are 100% bamboo with metal clasps. We provide 2x stainless steel needles in our kits and we also include 2x plastic needle threaders to make it as easy as possible to get stitching.
How is the cross stitch kit packaged?
We’ve tried to be as sustainable as possible with our packaging. Our packaging is 100% recyclable and we’ve minimised the use of plastic as much as we can.
Depending on the design you’ve chosen, your cross stitch kit will either come in a cardboard box or a sturdy A4 cardboard envelope. We are in the process of moving all of our kits to boxed packaging as they are better for us when storing them at our warehouse, but we’re doing this gradually in order to minimise waste.
All of the plastic in our cross stitch kits is 100% recyclable when you use the soft plastics recycle bin at your local grocery store.
How will my cross stitch kit be sent?
All of our cross stitch kits are shipped inside 100% biodegradable polymailers. If you’ve also ordered a rug kit, your order may also be shipped in a cardboard box which is 100% recyclable.
Our cross stitch kits will be sent with regular Auspost shipping and you will receive tracking on your order.
Since launching our kits, we have never had a single kit go missing in the letter mail system. However, in the very unlikely case that your order doesn’t show up, just send us an email and we will help sort it out!

Give two gifts in one! A cute craft kit AND a mindful experience. Whats not to love?! 🎁
I'd like to buy my loved one a recovery gift. Will a Craft Club kit be suitable?

Our other kits such as moss, embroidery and cross stitch are also suitable for someone recovering or staying at home, although different kits will suit different people!
Our moss kits include a variety of stitches and are great for someone wanting to stay entertained while in bed. But they do take a little more space, so prepare for that bed to be covered in different yarns and textures! Because our moss kits have so many techniques and videos, we only include a digital guide. So if your loved one doesn't like to use a screen, then our other kits would be better as their instructions are all printed physically.
Our embroidery and cross stitch kits are great for staying in bed because they are both compact and don't take up much space. They are both satisfying and creative, allowing your loved one to make something they'll love whilst in recovery. One thing to consider is that they are smaller in size and require around the same eyesight as reading would, so glasses and a good light are recommended especially if they might stitch at night.
I'd like to buy a gift for a child in my life. What ages are suitable?
Our latch-hooking kits are recommended for ages 6+ as they use a simple technique that kids can pick up really easily (in fact, it's usually kids that pick it up faster than the parents!). Our latch hooking kits include a latch-hook which is not sharp, making it perfect for busy kids hands. The yarn is also pre-cut so kids don't need to use sharp scissors when making a rug or cushion.
Our moss kits are recommended for ages 8+ as they have some small pieces, such as sewing needles and pom pom scissors. While the scissors in this kit aren't too sharp, they are still used for cutting and should be used with supervision of parents for younger kids. Other tools included such as the weaving needles and latch-hooks are safe for children ages 6+.
Our embroidery kits and cross stitch kits are recommended for ages 8+ as they include sewing needles and will require some kind of scissors to cut the threads. It's common for children as young as 5 or 6 to start needle craft hobbies like embroidery or cross stitch, however we would always recommend doing so with adult supervision so that it is safe
I'm sending the kit straight to my gift recipient. Can I get the price removed?
We gotchu! We don't include any pricing information or packing list inside our kits, so they're ready to go straight into the hands of your loved ones. You'll find all of this information in digital form in your emails instead.
Can I add a personalised note?
Sadly no. Our warehouse team have terrible handwriting!
Just kidding 🤭 Whilst our warehouse team do have great handwriting, they just don't have the capacity to write hand-written notes on a larger scale at this time. So we can't include personalised notes to orders.
