I joined this course because I’ve always dreamed of making my own clothes and unique handmade pieces — and wow, it’s delivered! The tutorials are incredibly clear and easy to follow, even for a total beginner like me. The videos break everything down step by step, and the diagram sheets really helped me understand the stitches and patterns. I loved the section on equipment too — it took all the guesswork out of getting started. The support has been amazing for asking questions and connecting with others on the same journey. It’s given me so much confidence already, and I’ve now finished my beanie! Whether you’re starting from scratch or brushing up, this course gives you the skills and support to bring your creative visions to life. Highly recommend!

Yes I would reccommend this, great little online shop. Working on the MCAL so needed to purchase to complete the stage 3 of it. nicely packaged, arrived quickly even though it had to be ordered in for me, appreciated the little extras with the small order... thanks again

The Beginner Crochet Mastery Course presented by Carmela from The Yarnarium has been a great way to learn to crochet.
During the six week online course you learn the different terminologies, the stitches, techniques and handy tips you will need to learn to crochet.
The course is delivered using tutorials with videos and written instructions and it’s great to be able to replay the lessons as much as you need. You can ask for advice along the way and no question is a silly one!
You can work at your own pace and practice before you move on to the next lesson. Working through the course you will increase your skills and gain confidence with the techniques.
The course is full of great content and I found it an informative and enjoyable way to learn a new craft. Highly recommended if you are just starting out as a beginner or even if you need a refresher.
