Frequently Asked Questions

C2C KIT FAQ’s WIP!

    • These are DIY kits to make Corner to Corner (or C2C) Crochet designs.

    • They resemble pixel art featuring our own designs!

    • They can be used as table or kitchen deco items or augmented to be blankets, pillow covers or even wall art!

    • We seek the most eco-friendly materials on the market we can find. For now we are featuring “I Love This Cotton Yarn“ sold at Hobby Lobby

    • The featured yarn may change in the future, but this brand is soft, in 100% cotton, Oeko Tec 100% Certified and has many colors offered.

    • In addition to our 100% cotton yarn, we include a 4mm crochet hook (or 2 for our crochet together kits!), a link to our video tutorials found here on our website, and printed graph and line instructions.

    • A washing machine on cold works great!

    • But they don’t like the dryer, they prefer to dry naturally!

  • Absolutely! Patience is needed to learn a new skill like crochet, we offer video tutorials to make it easier to learn, but it depends if they can sit through a project.

    • When you finish your project there are raised rows on some diagonals. If you don’t like that texture and want a more flat look, then you can block it!

    • Simply get your project wet and place something heavy on top while it dries to keep that shape, just make sure it’s squared off when you set it down!

    • Our kits sold in stores will all have a hook included, but our kits online will have the option to go without for a little cheaper.

    • Just make sure that your hook is also 4mm. Any other size will result in distorted size or bunching or running out of yarn!

    • Our 9×9 kits take us about 60~90 minutes roughly depending on the design. If you are new to crochet it may take you 2 ~ 4 hours depending on circumstances.

    • Take your time! Crochet is proven to have stress and anxiety reducing effects, relax and create!

    • At present we don’t except returns. We may change this in the future when we discover how to handle returns from online orders.

Plushie FAQ’s

    • These crocheted plushies are made in the Japanese style called amigurumi which means “crocheted or knitted plushies.“

    • These little guys have a variety of functions: excellent cuddle buddies, emotional support experts, great at high fives, best listeners for the workplace, and will mow your lawn (ok maybe they won’t mow your lawn, but they want to be helpful).

    • We added functionality with keychains!

    • We seek the most eco-friendly materials on the market we can find. For now cotton is the most accessible natural fiber. Our goal is to continue to look for better yarns and dyes, but options now are very limited.

    • Kapok is used as the main filler, with yarn scraps added as well (now that’s eco-friendly!).

    • The Eyes are currently made of plastic (for now) and are called Safety Eyes. It is our hope that better options will open up for materials to replace them but becoming eco-friendly is a journey.

    • Kapok is a bean fluff from a native wild tree from the amazon now grown mostly in Asia and Indonesia. It has hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant qualities.

    • This was the product used in most plushies before synthetic fillers were introduced into the market.

    • The seeds are also used to make soaps, fertilizer and cattle feed.

    • A washing machine on cold works great! If you put them in a pillow case or fuzzy sock they can protect their eyes even better.

    • But they don’t like the dryer, they prefer to dry naturally!

    • Yes they are! We choose our products carefully and make sure our yarn is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. There are two styles of safety eyes and we use the safer and more expensive option so they are safe for children.

    • Unfortunately, no. Pets shouldn’t chew toys made of long yarn fibers as they can mess up their digestion. The safety eyes may also become dislodged and become a choking hazard.

    • Absolutely! Crochet has never been able to be created by machine. Every plushie is made with great care and love. We thank you for your interest and support!

    • Our plushies range from roughly a half hour up to one and a half hours depending on the complexity. Many crochet projects do take longer, but we chose to keep the designs simpler to keep them more affordable for you!

    • Of course! We have made plushie kits in the past with video instructions and intend to have them returned to our store with more helpful videos. But we want to find better eye options that are more eco-friendly!

    • In the meantime we invite you to watch tutorials and be conscious about the yarn you buy (try to avoid Acrylic, Viscose, Bamboo, and Silk yarns).

    • Plushies tend to get attached very quickly and don’t want to be returned. We want to respect their wishes!
