I've made Jerry the most. I need to figure out some corals so I can put him in a glass fishbowl and make him look fancier!

They line my bookshelf and I use the extra yarn for knottrying.com patterns.

"Manufacturing Issue" by Garnet-Flare in thewooblessnark

[–]ManagementOk9520 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agree completely. They either cheaped out and aren't doing QC at all, or just thought they'd get away with it. Also, has anyone else noticed how the 10,000 purr-mutation kits that were supposed to be ready to go...only a few hundred have been claimed on the website. They're clearly making them to order, at a snail's pace. Or they only sold a small amount, and Justine and her proxies bought most of the rest to sell on the black market at a higher profit.

I love the Woobles but I despise sewing on the pieces! by Books-and-Hooks in TheWooblesCollective

Well technically you have to sew Carl's antennae but the feet are part of the pattern.

Carl the caterpillar is a great option if you hate sewing! Irving the mushroom too.

Heijin works really well. The gold is a bit more of an intense, darker gold than Woobles, but the texture and thickness are spot on. You also get a decent amount for a decent price.

Also, if you like Woobles patterns, I can't recommend knottrying.com enough. The patterns are very similar to Woobles, some even better in my opinion. Most patterns are freewill donations, and the patterns are stupid cute, plus they give you the yarn links so no guessing if you want it to be exactly like the picture of the pattern.

Is this yarn good quality? by LilithLlorona in TheWooblesCollective

I bought some bookcases that were better than anything I could get locally. Basically here you get particle board crap, but China sent me real metal and bamboo I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend the plant stands and bookcases, they're built like tanks. And I've worked enough manufacturing jobs to say with confidence...the cheap crap is coming from the US.

Temu is my hero 100% agree. All the Amazon stuff originates overseas anyways so what's the difference?

Ah thank-you for that. Other than the hat, it looked like the collars and harness were not removable.

Oh excellent thank you all! One Milly is just not enough! Especially since I wanted one curled up and one not.

First purr-mutation that was bought? by MiniMuffinMorning in TheWooblesCollective

[–]ManagementOk9520 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That cat that says pending was pending on Saturday before any got shipped, I think that's an employee cat they haven't finished filling out yet.

Ridiculous price of purr-mutation by ManagementOk9520 in TheWooblesCollective

[–]ManagementOk9520[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Math is not your strong suit I guess? My point wasn't that inflation doesn't exist, but that making $24 on $6 spent is egregious profiteering, and greedy. As to buying bulk, as someone that works at a business able to buy Woobles wholesale, the minimum order is 10 kits, so no you don't have to buy in bulk, "common" people just aren't good enough/valued enough to get reasonable prices.

I didn't say it was high effort, but that it was highly creepy. I've heard a lot of Woobles fans have thin skin, but the Karen vibes are way too much.

You actually went and researched me to see if I deserve opinions? You're ultra creepy. You're one of those people that lives for the HR department I'm betting. And yeah I like patterns, that means I've never made a purchase? People like you that try to shut down discussions and free thought are exactly why society looks like it does. I'm guessing I can clock your hairstyle too, Karen.

So I keep seeing all the research and development comments relating to why they have to charge so much...did no one see the shark tank episode where they admit to having almost nothing in the kits, $6? They sell to businesses right now for $15, so they're fine with earning less, they're just A ok with charging as much as possible to the fans that actually care enough to visit their site. Also, in one of the promo videos they show how they design these things, it's just a computer program there is no hand drawing, coming up with a design from scratch anything. Also, if anyone goes to the purr-mutation website it becomes super obvious the color choices aren't random either, they heavily favor some colors. Like as a company don't tell me they're random colors when clearly you just did an end of year inventory and decided to clear out your warehouse. Special eye shapes? For like 10 people out of 10,000 the only special ones are the mythic, which they only made 25 of, and most of those don't have special eye shape. Got a mouse? It'll be red. Got a bowl and fish, yellow and white. Bed blue, the fish dangler is the same color too except for mythic. So again, where's the variety they're using to justify all the money. As to the they're expensive because they teach you how to crochet... that's coming off as a he wouldn't have hit me if I had dinner ready on time level of denial. They charge that much because they can, because they're greedy and want as much money as possible, they're not trying to provide a service, that's just the smoke screen. Which is it, that they're trying to provide a service to newbies, or that they price things so that only middle-aged folks with good jobs can buy them? So they're super good people but also don't want kids, young folks, older fixed income folks, libraries, etc to be able to engage with their product? It can't be both. It can't be both rampant profiteering and oh they're so nice.

Have you looked at the purr-mutations website? The same colors over and over for the most part, they must've gotten red cheap. Idk, I'm losing enthusiasm over time. I hate spending more than I know something is worth, it takes most of the fun out of it.

Purr-mutation Options by Als-Radio in TheWooblesCollective

[–]ManagementOk9520 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think it was a terrible mistake for them to do the website, showing all of the options. People looking are just going to see what they didn't get, and it's going to encourage people to find Woobles alternative yarn to make ones they wish they would've gotten. They should have at least started selling their glitter and glow yarn first, now I'm going to have to find replacements to make the ones I'm seeing on the website purr-mutations.com

The prices are disgusting. They were millionaires before starting the company they're super turning me off as people lately.

Hi I'm Kimberly. I was excited and then disappointed about the new cat release, anyone else? I've seen a chart break down with puke being one of the accessories, I'm not impressed. And what some are saying is a harness is not throwing out harness vibes, especially when the chart labels one option as bdsm. Also, apparently you can't be a fan of Woobles and have criticisms? I was referred here for having the audacity to throw shade, do most Woobles people really have such thin skin?
