Answers to your handmade crochet FAQs
Custom Orders
Each piece is handmade when you order. Most items are sent out in five to seven days, but larger custom crochet may take a little longer. Placing an order with Whimsy Crochet NZ is simple. Purchase a ready-made item from the Shop or choose your favourite design online and I’ll craft your piece from scratch right here in New Zealand. If you have a custom idea, just reach out before you order.

If you need a special colour, just let me know when you get in touch. Although some colours might not be available in your choice of yarn, I will work with you to find your perfect shade. I make hats and accessories for all ages. Please see below for general head wear sizes:

Payment & Delivery
You can pay safely by bank transfer or Stripe. All prices are upfront so you know exactly what you’ll pay. With Afterpay available, payments are hassle free. All items are sent via NZ Post and have a tracking # for your piece of mind.
Why is Handmade more Expensive
Handmade products are more expensive because they reflect the true cost of skilled labor, time-intensive production, and high-quality materials. Unlike mass-produced items, handmade goods are often unique, durable, and created in small batches, representing an investment in artistry and ethical, sustainable production rather than just a commodity.
FAQs-materials and care
All Whimsy Crochet NZ products use soft, sturdy yarn that’s gentle for adults and kids. Wash your handmade crochet by hand with cool water and mild soap, then lay flat to dry. I do send care instructions with each item but if you need more advice or have questions about materials, please contact me.
