About Us
Crochet Australia is an on-line business specializing in all things crochet. We provide crochet information and a wide range of quality crochet books, hooks, yarn, threads and crochet supplies at an affordable price, not only to Australian crocheters, but to crocheters all over the world. We also stock a range of knitting, candlewicking, tatting, macrame and hardanger books and accessories.
Crochet Australia started with just Craft Moods and Paragon publications, some threads and a few hooks in early 2002 with Vicki and Ray Moodie. I then bought the business in 2014 when I decided that after 25 years of being an accountant, I needed a change.
I relocated the business to Yandina, in the Sunshine Coast, on the east coast of Australia in Queensland. Just over an hours drive north of Brisbane.
I was taught to crochet by my mother at about the age of 5. But it wasn’t until I became the proud owner of Crochet Australia that I really put all my crochet abilities to the test. I became a ‘Crochet Master’ in 2017 completing the Masters in Advanced Crochet Stitches with the Crochet Guild of America. I then completed the Crochet Teaching Certification Level 1 and Level 2 with the Yarn Council of America. These have given me more skills and knowledge which I pass on to my customers with guidance and advice about patterns and yarns, in our weekly workshops. I just love to teach more people the art of this craft, and see them flourish.
In 2020 I was one of the founding Committee Members of the Crochet Guild of Australia After serving two terms as a member and seeing the Guild flourish, I was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Guild for my services. I have been involved in designing and delivering the Crochet Teaching Certificate issued by the Crochet Guild of Australia.
In 2023 I became the Leader of the Guilds’ Education Subcommittee.
