Hello, I'm Clare!

53stitches is a small business based in Brisbane, Australia, run by one person - me! My name is Clare, and I first picked up a crochet hook in 2014. I started 53stitches later that year as a place to share the crochet patterns and projects I was working on.

This store is your new stop for chunky chenille yarn in Australia - with fast shipping times and a huge selection of colours. Or if you haven't fallen down the crochet rabbit hole yet, check out our learn to crochet kits! They are designed, written, packed and shipped in house and there's nothing better than that speedy domestic delivery feeling.
