• 5/5 from Ines Monteiro, attended Feb 2025: I signed up for the beginners crochet workshop which ended up being a 121 due to being the only one booked in. I really appreciated the fact that Hobbycraft still offered the workshop, where other places might have cancelled. The lovely Sharon taught me the basics of crochet. Her instructions were very clear and she was patient throughout. She also adapted the workshop based on how well I was doing and gave me lots of extra tips on how to get started in crochet, including Hobbycraft free resources and youtube videos that could be helpful. I had a really good time learning how to crochet and really appreciated how friendly and positive Sharon was. This is now the third workshop I have attended at the Chesterfield Hobbycraft and I couldn't recommend them more. The team is so welcoming and passionate about the different crafts they offer!
