It started with two friends, a new hobby, and a feeling we wanted to share.
We're Cardigang
Cardigang started the way a lot of good things do.
With time on our hands, anxious energy to burn, and a feeling that we wanted more from our days.
Back in 2020, during lockdown in Melbourne, we taught ourselves how to knit. Not because we had a grand plan, but because it felt grounding. Repetitive. Comforting. Something we could do with our hands when the world felt a bit wobbly.
Somewhere between dropped stitches and finished scarves, it clicked.
This wasn’t just a hobby. It was a feeling we wanted to share.
So we started Cardigang.
Making, but make it approachable
We didn’t grow up in knitting clubs. We didn’t inherit secret techniques or fancy terminology. We were beginners, Googling things late at night and unpicking rows more often than we’d like to admit.
That’s exactly why Cardigang exists.
We design knit and crochet kits for people who think they’re not crafty. For people who want something creative without the pressure to be perfect. For anyone who’s ever said, “I’d love to learn, but I wouldn’t even know where to start.”
No gatekeeping. No judgment. No pretending it’s easy when it’s not.
Just clear instructions, quality materials, and the quiet confidence that comes from making something yourself.
The joy is in the doing
There’s something special about slowing down and using your hands.
About watching something take shape stitch by stitch.
About wearing or gifting something and being able to say, “I made this.”
Cardigang isn’t about becoming an expert. It’s about enjoying the process, embracing the messiness, and finding a little calm in a world that moves too fast.
Some people knit to unwind.
Some to learn a new skill.
Some because they’re burnt out and need something just for them.
All of it belongs here.
"Knitting has become my new favourite way to unwind — it’s incredibly relaxing, and there’s something so satisfying about making something with your own hands."Chelsea R.
Thoughtfully made, always
Quality matters to us. Not in a flashy way, but in a you-can-feel-it way.
We take our time sourcing beautiful yarns, designing kits that actually work, and creating projects you’ll be proud to finish. The kind you reach for again. The kind that hold memories, not just warmth.
Because if you’re going to put time and care into making something, it should feel worth it.
You’re already part of it
Cardigang is more than kits and yarn. It’s a growing community of beginners, overthinkers, perfectionists-in-recovery, and people rediscovering creativity as adults.
If you’ve ever wanted a hobby that feels good, looks good, and doesn’t ask you to be anything other than where you are right now, you’re in the right place.
We’re really glad you’re here.
