“I would like to congratulate the Fruitful Collective team on their great range of Australian products. They are designed & made using Australian grown wool, spun in our own Australian woollen mills. I have the woollen cowl scarf which is beautifully handmade in a blue colour recommended by Melissa. Apart from supporting our farmers, this scarf requires no arranging. The scarf goes over one’s head, so is great for those who may be incapacitated & have difficulty tying & arranging regular scarves. All of their products are sourced considering sustainability and ecology.” – Patricia L.
“If you are looking for a top-tier crochet kit to get started with, The Fruitful Collective is hard to beat. If you are just starting out, the Budding Crochet Cowl is worth considering. This kit includes a sustainably manufactured bamboo 10mm x 15cm crochet hook, a printed instruction sheet, Beautiful Nundle Australian 20ply wool yarn (your choice of 6 colours), a care label to sew onto your finished project (so you remember how to best look after your creation) and it comes all in a handy reusable calico project bag!
The worksheet features plenty of terms, descriptions and starts right from the basics, assuming that the user is a total novice. I found the larger wooden hook to not only be visually appealing but to be quite comfortable to crochet with as well.
The yarn is Nundle Australian 20ply wool, which is purchased, sorted, and spun by one of the owners of The Fruitful Collective so you can be assured that this wool is authentically Australian and 100% amazing to use!”- Serena, Wahroonga
