Popular crochet kit manufacturer The Woobles just launched a new collaboration with The Lord of the Rings. The adorable lineup includes four characters from Tolkien’s classic fantasy novel, and there’s even a Collector’s Box that comes with the full set as well as some bonus merch. The Woobles Lord of the Rings Collector’s Box includes everything needed to crochet Gandalf, Frodo, Gollum, and a Balrog. The Woobles expects to ship preorders around May 15. It’s quite expensive at $195, but it’s worth noting you can buy each character separately or in a bundle without the extras for less.
Here’s a list of all of The Lord of the Rings Woobles products. Every product except for the Collector’s Box is available to ship now. Each of the character bundles includes an accessory that is otherwise sold separately.
Crochet Frodo, Gandalf, Gollum, and a Balrog
Inside the Collector’s Box, you’ll find tons of accessories and tools–but more importantly, you’ll get step-by-step video tutorials to help you through the entire process. Some of these projects are technically billed as “intermediate-level projects,” but with the comprehensive videos and Easy Peasy Yarn (designed to withstand snags and prevent fraying), most folks should be able to work through the bundle without an issue.
As mentioned, you’ll get to crochet four LOTR characters plus all of the tools needed to get started, such as custom hooks and tension rings. Since this is a collector’s edition, you also get some bonus merch, including an adorable drawstring bag to bring your creations with you wherever you go. Here’s what you’ll find inside the box:
- 1 Gollum Kit + Exclusive Crochet Hook
- 1 Frodo Kit + Exclusive Crochet Hook
- 1 Gandalf Kit + Exclusive Crochet Hook
- 1 Balrog Kit + Exclusive Crochet Hook
- 1 Tiny Gollum’s Fish Accessory Kit
- 1 Tiny Sting Accessory Kit
- 1 Tiny Gandalf Staff Accessory Kit
- 1 Tiny Balrog Whip Accessory Kit
- 1 Tension Ring and Pouch
- 1 Custom Tin
- 1 Custom Hook
- 1 Drawstring Bag
The Collector’s Box is marked as a “launch week sale,” so the price may climb or it could be unavailable to order after this week. The “Them All Bundle” is also a launch week deal. Normally $193, you can buy the bundle containing all four characters and accessories for $165.
Alternatively, you could purchase each character kit for $40-$45 each or $45-$50 each when bundled with each character’s accessory.
If you’re looking for more crochet fun, check out the Minecraft Total Block Star Bundle, which lets you stitch together three characters from Mojang’s blocky adventure game. Fans of classic arcade games will want to take a look at the Pac-Man Woobles lineup, which features Pac-Man and five ghosts, including one that glows in the dark. The Woobles also has collaborations with a bunch of other franchises, including Squid Game, Harry Potter, and Hello Kitty.
In other Lord of the Rings news, preorders are available now for The Middle-earth 6-Film Collection. The new 4K Blu-ray box set is set to release on March 18. In the meantime, you could pick up The War of the Rohirrim anime, which released on 4K Blu-ray this week.
