Fans of the video game Minecraft can channel another avenue for their building creativity with The Woobles products. The Woobles offers crochet kits that are beginner-friendly and based on popular characters. Just browsing their online shop shows the Powerpuff Girls, Harry Potter, Pac-Man, Hello Kitty, and more. Their Minecraft section offers a fun pastime to crochet popular characters and accessories with easy-to-follow instructions and everything you need included. We got a chance to get our hands on the Creeper and a Music Disc 5 to see what the products are like.
Easy to Use
This kit is designed with usability in mind. Someone with no knowledge of crochet can open the bag and get started. The Creeper kit came with vibrant green yarn, a pre-started piece to get us going, a crochet hook, a yarn needle, plastic eyes for the Creeper face, and stuffing to fill it out with. It also has both online instructions and a comprehensive video to walk you through the process. The overview on the bag says that most people will complete the Creeper in three to eight hours.
Music Disc 5 was a more modest bag. It only had links to the instructions and two colors of yarn. For someone wishing a quicker and simpler crochet project, items like Music Disc 5, the Iron Sword, and the Saddle Kit will present an easier challenge level. Going for the character pieces such as the Creeper, the Pig, and the Warden will be a higher “challenge rating” and take longer to complete.
Appearance
These are cute. They are very cute. The Creeper piece itself is just over three inches tall and three inches wide. These make adorable pieces to display on your bookshelf, with your video games, or even at your work desk. The bag kits are well-designed. They are resealable so if you decide to spread your crochet project across a few days you can keep everything in one place.
We were impressed with the thematic detail given to even the smallest of items in the kit. The crochet needle was Minecraft-themed with the standard green colors and images from the game. It’s an added touch that makes The Woobles stand out more in terms of product quality. There is an attention to detail, and a love for the craft itself, that makes it fun to be a part of.
Cost for Quality
These aren’t necessarily a “cheap” purchase at $40 for the Creeper, but for everything you get included they are a great deal. If you wanted to go to your local craft store and pick up every individual item you need, you would probably save money. But the advantage of The Woobles kit is that everything is pre-measured and tailored for that specific project. That being said, accessory items like Music Disc 5 are only $7 which is a great bargain. Plus, you can’t get a Minecraft-themed sewing needle at a local craft store. And it really is the fun nerdiness of this project that makes it special. You get it because you love Minecraft and you are a creative at heart.
The Verdict
Adorable and fun, The Woobles takes Minecraft and gives fans an opportunity to explore a new creative hobby with the characters and accessories from the game. It is of a very high quality, well-designed, and is easy to use for both beginners and those experienced in crochet.
You can purchase your own Creeper, Music Disc 5, Warden, and others on The Woobles’ online store!
