Crochet has made a spectacular comeback, and the incredibly popular Woobles crochet kits are leading the charge. Ever since their massive success on Shark Tank, these beginner-friendly amigurumi kits have been flying off the shelves.
If you are trying to track down Pierre the Penguin or Sebastian the Lion, you might be wondering where the best place to buy them is. Whether you need a last-minute gift today or you are hunting for the best online deals, here is the ultimate guide on exactly where to buy Woobles crochet kits in-store and online.
Where to Buy The Woobles In-Store (Brick-and-Mortar)
If you need a kit immediately for a birthday or you simply enjoy the tactile experience of shopping in person, finding Woobles in physical stores is easier than ever. Here are the major retailers that currently stock them:
- Target: Target recently started carrying a wide selection of Woobles kits. You can usually find them in the arts and crafts aisle, or sometimes featured in the seasonal gifting sections.
- Joann Fabrics: A paradise for crafters, Joann Fabrics is one of the most reliable places to find Woobles in-store. It’s a great place to pick up extra yarn or ergonomic crochet hooks while you are there.
- Michaels: Another haven for craft enthusiasts, Michaels stores regularly stock the beginner kits. Their staff can also point you toward beginner-friendly yarn if you want to practice before opening your kit.
- Barnes & Noble: Surprisingly, Barnes & Noble carries these kits in their hobby, puzzle, and gifting sections.
- Walmart: While stock varies heavily by location, larger Walmart Supercenters carry select Woobles kits in their craft departments.
Pro Tip: Always use the “Check In-Store Availability” feature on the retailer’s website or app before driving to the store, as these kits sell out incredibly fast during the holidays.
Where to Buy Woobles Kits Online
Shopping online gives you access to the entire catalog, including exclusive collaborations (like Harry Potter or Pac-Man) that you won’t find in local stores.
Are The Woobles Kits Actually Worth It?
At around $30 per kit, some beginners wonder if they should just buy cheap yarn and watch YouTube videos. Here is why the Woobles kits justify their price tag:
- The Pre-Started Piece: The absolute hardest part of crochet is the “magic ring” (the very first step). Woobles kits come with this step already done for you.
- Custom Easy Peasy Yarnâ„¢: Traditional yarn splits and frays, which is incredibly frustrating for beginners. Woobles uses a custom, tube-like yarn that does not fray, making it easy to see your stitches.
- Step-by-Step Video Tutorials: You aren’t just buying materials; you are buying a highly structured, password-protected video course tailored specifically to the character you are making.
Whether you grab one from the craft aisle at Target or order a bundle on Amazon, completing your first Woobles kit is a satisfying gateway into the timeless art of crochet.
