FAQs: answering your questions
ABOUT OUR KITS AND CROCHET PATTERNS
Which kit is the best one to learn to crochet with?
The Chunky Scarf Crochet Kit is ideal for learning to crochet – the videos assume that you’ve never crocheted before, and you’ll learn the basic crochet stitches and techniques.
If you’re feeling adventurous, then start with the Chunky Heart Crochet Kit – the stitches are more complex, and the videos will show you exactly what to do.
How do I access the crochet patterns and video tutorials?
There are 3 different ways to access the Homelea Lass crochet patterns and video tutorials, and we’ve put together a detailed blog post about this here.
Where are your kits made?
All of our kits are made in our studio that is located in Geelong, Victoria, Australia.
Do you use sustainable packaging?
We use recycled and compostable packaging materials whenever possible and only use the required amount of packaging to keep your creative goodies safe – there’s no unnecessary paper or boxes that you’ll need to throw out.
The gift boxes that some of out kits come in are now optional.

How much yarn do I need to make a blanket?
The amount of yarn you’ll need to make a throw or blanket depends on a number of factors, including the blanket size, crochet/knitting, stitch type and hook/needle size.
As a guide we allow 6 skeins to crochet a “snuggle on the lounge” throw, and you can find out more here.
What type of dye is used on your yarn?
The dyes that are used in our yarns are synthetic pigment dyes. The strongest chemical that is used is acetic acid (white vinegar contains this) and it’s made from grapes.
Is the wool from non-mulesed sheep?
As well as being fully produced in Australia, our yarns are grown in Australia from merino sheep. We can not guarantee that the wool is 100% from non-mulesed sheep.
