Absolutely! Knitting and crochet are very forgiving crafts. You can undo stitches to correct mistakes. We have resources available to help you “frog” your work (rip it, rip it!) and start again.

Consistent tension takes practice. Try to relax and maintain a steady rhythm. Holding the yarn differently or adjusting your grip can also help. Check out our tips on achieving even tension.

There could be several reasons for this. Double-check your gauge, tension, and pattern instructions. If you’re still unsure, contact us for personalised advice and support.

Each kit comes with care instructions specific to the type of yarn used. Generally, hand washing in cool water and laying flat to dry will keep your handmade piece looking its best.

Most handmade items, especially those made with delicate or luxurious yarns, should be hand washed in cool water using a gentle detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric to prevent stretching.

Some items might be machine washable, but it’s always best to check the care label of your yarn. If machine washing is recommended, use a gentle cycle with cool water and place the item in a mesh laundry bag to protect it.

Lay your items flat to dry on a clean towel or drying rack. Avoid hanging them up as this can cause stretching. Reshape the item while it’s damp to ensure it maintains its original shape.

Ironing is generally not recommended for knit or crochet items, especially those made with delicate yarns. If you need to remove wrinkles, use a steamer or gently pat the item with a damp cloth.

Store your knit and crochet items in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Fold them neatly and place them in a drawer or a breathable storage bag. Avoid hanging them to prevent stretching.

Pilling is normal for many types of yarn, especially those with shorter fibers. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills and keep your item looking fresh.

Blocking can help shape and even out your knit or crochet pieces. Wet blocking (soaking and then shaping the item) or steam blocking (using a steamer to shape the item) are common methods. Follow the specific blocking instructions for the type of yarn you used.

If your knit or crochet piece stretches out, try wet blocking it again to reshape it. Soak the item in cool water, gently squeeze out excess water, and lay it flat to dry, reshaping it as needed.

To freshen up your items, try airing them out or using a fabric freshening spray. You can also place them in the freezer for a few hours to kill any odors or bacteria.

Yes! Use a crochet hook or a blunt needle to gently pull the snagged yarn back into place. If needed, secure the area with a small stitch on the wrong side of the fabric to prevent further damage.
