Arthritis? I barely know her.
Favourite American yarn brand, I use this particular brand for mini keychains and coasters.
Caron Yarn - Amazon.com
Only crochet hooks I use, don't really see the need to try other brands.

Best yarn for blankets and hoodies, despite the look it's extremely soft.
Caron Latte Cakes - Amazon.com
Artsy Fartsy
All things art!! Oil pastel, soft pastel, graphite, charcoal, mediums and sketchbooks. (Some other stuff too)
This brand is popular for a reason and imo UNDERhyped, only down side is with it being too creamy it runs out pretty fast.
MUNGYO Gallery Artists' Soft Oil Pastels, 48
The best beginner oil pastels on the market!! It's inexpensive, creamy and AUSTRALIAN OWNED!! I've created countless of art with this brand and have bought the 120 set 3 times already. (I've included some art I've made when I first tried these oil pa...
Mont Marte Extra Soft Oil Pastels 120pc
These are a bit harder then other oil pastels but I use this specific set to colour in backgrounds when I don't want to use the expensive creamy ones.
Mont Marte Oil Pastels 48pc Tin Box Set
Cheapest electric eraser I could find in Australia, cheap doesn't always mean terrible quality btw. I recommend this to literally everyone who shows a sliver of interest in art.
Mont Marte Electric Eraser with 30 Refills
I carry this everywhere with me, I have nothing else to say. Faber Castell is the most reliable and consistent brand imo.
Faber-Castell 9000 Graphite Sketch Pencils Set
Since I live in a rural community I can't order fixative sprays (still can't find a store that does online orders) so I use baking paper in between pages to protect my oil pastel art.
Unbleached Parchment Paper 9x13IN, 70 Sheets
A need. That's it, that's the note.
US Art Supply 10 Pc Artist Blending Stumps
Game changer for oil pastel drawings, I would love to use my finger but they're too big and harder to control.
Kosiz 6 Pcs Double Headed Blending Sponge Pen
I hate massive sharpeners but I also hate losing them, so a big and brightly coloured sharpener was the only solution. (Works really well with my Faber Castell graphites and Mont Marte watercolours)
STAEDTLER Double-Hole Manual Pencil Sharpener
Australia doesn't have any decent watercolour sketch books, this was my only option. (A good one tho because this brand is amazing)
Canson XL Watercolor Pad, 9x12, 30 Sheets
Needed a book that flips up so I could share with my sister who's left-hand, the paper quality is amazing tho.
Fuxi 9x12 Top Spiral Sketch Book 100 Sheets
For the Baddies on a budget.

Clay
I usually make my own clay so I will be recommending tools.
All the tools in one kit.
36 PCS Clay Sculpting Tools Kit for Pottery
Jewellery
I never really understand how I got into this hobby, I don't even wear jewellery but it is satisfying to create tho.
