One Stop Shop for all your Patchwork, Knitting, Crochet, Cross Stitch, Spinning, Weaving & Embroidery Supplies & Classes
Established 1999
27 years of providing friendly, supportive, professional supplies & advice Friendly, personal and professional service and advice, combined with a fabulous and ever increasing range of knitting and crochet yarns, quilting, spinning, weaving, dyeing, embroidery, cross stitch and tapestry supplies means we are a true one-stop shop. Free parking at the front door and Wheel chair accessible. We offer a range of paid classes run by talented and patient teachers - sign up to our Newsletter to keep up to date. Every Thursday we have Stitch'n Chat from 10am to 2pm - gold coin donation for tea/coffe and biscuits. All the above means we are a true One Stop Shop staffed with people who know and love what they do .... why would you go anywhere else :) Why not hop in and have a look for yourself. Crafty Frog... the name. Many people ask me why I called my business Crafty Frog. Easy it combines my two loves - after my family of course - craft and frogs, and by having a generic name it has enabled me to expand into whatever area I choose, whilst having a business name that couldn’t be forgotten. Those who have been to the shop will by now have seen my beautiful red-eyed green tree frog, sitting on his lily pad complete with needle in mouth and my ever-increasing range of frog mementos decorating the shop.

📦 USA SHIPPING SUSPENDED
We sell yarn, fabric and craft supplies. The paperwork shouldn’t be the biggest project in the parcel.

With changes to US tariffs and customs requirements adding more administration and uncertainty, Crafty Frog has made the difficult decision to suspend shipments to the United States with effect immediately.

Our small team simply doesn’t have the time or resources to take on the additional work needed.

Australian deliveries and our other available international destinations continue as usual.

A few customers have asked whether we will be having a Black Friday sale this year.

We won’t be having a storewide Black Friday sale. At Crafty Frog, we work to keep our everyday prices low throughout the year.

We absorb the freight costs charged by our suppliers rather than adding them to our selling prices, and we don’t charge card fees.

You don’t need to wait for Black Friday to shop with us.

If you’re choosing yarn for your next project, looking for fabric or picking up your sewing supplies, we’d love to see you.

If you saw my video on Saturday, you’ll know we’re still ordering—and literally hundreds of sashiko panels have just arrived!

I know some of you have been waiting a while, and I’m sorry the shipment took longer than expected. We’re still madly processing them out the back, getting them onto the computer, up on the website and out into the shop.

There are lots of smaller panels in red, indigo and green, along with some lovely large designs. Many of my customers stitch these with coloured threads, and they’re just stunning. Traditional stitching is lovely too—it’s entirely your choice.

You can now browse the Little Stab Designs collections together here. Bookmark the page and keep checking back as we add more:
https://www.craftyfrog.com.au/sashiko/~-3083

I’ve also placed another order for sashiko threads, as we’ve run out again. We’re waiting for those to arrive.

A little reminder before bed tonight — clocks go FORWARD one hour!

Daylight saving starts tomorrow, Sunday 4 October. Remember the clocks around the house that don’t change themselves.

One less hour of sleep, but a little more evening light for your stitching.

Enjoy the long weekend. We’ll be closed Monday and back in the shop on Tuesday.

More goodies turning up as we clean out the shop ready for my retirement!

I picked up these Flowers 2 Flowers cross stitch patterns on a trip to the USA. There are four designs—Fire Dragon, Earth Dragon, Water Dragon and Universe Dragon. Each is beautiful on its own, or you could stitch all four as a set.

We have just one of each pattern, at $16.95 each. These are patterns only, so you’ll need your fabric and threads separately.

We’ve just unpacked Soaring Dreams, a lovely new fabric range from FIGO Fabrics.

There are five prints to choose from, with hot air balloons, planes, stars and matching ginghams in gentle shades of blue, white and linen. They’d make a beautiful baby quilt, and the ginghams are handy for borders and binding.

If you have a new baby to sew for, come in and have a look. You can also browse the range online:
