1. What is Plyful?
Plyful is a crafting community that is passionate about elevating crochet, creating a supportive community, and providing valuable learning resources for its members.

2. How do Plyful memberships work?
There are two membership options: Super Skein and Full Hank.
As a Super Skein Plyful member, you’ll receive one credit every month that can be used to download the pattern of your choice, including the exclusive featured pattern. You’ll also gain access to a new exclusive pattern each month, a FREE pattern library, LIVE masterclasses related to the featured pattern, LIVE crochet meetups and interviews with guest designers, and on-demand access to previous events and masterclasses.
As a Full Hank Plyful member you will receive all of the benefits of the Super Skein membership for a whole year. The only difference is that 15 credits will be added to your account on the day you sign up to use as you see fit throughout the year.

4. What’s the difference between a Plyful-Exclusive Pattern and a Non-Exclusive Pattern?
Plyful Exclusive patterns are those that you can ONLY get as a paid member. These include ALL new releases by Nomad Stitches or Guest Designers.
Our exclusivity agreement with Guest Designers dictates that their patterns will ONLY be available to Plyful members for the first 6 months since release. After that, they are free to sell their patterns on the platform on their choice. However, the patterns will be remain available for purchase on Plyful to members only until a year from release. From then on, only those who have already added the pattern to their Library will have access to it.
Nomad Stitches Exclusive patterns will remain exclusive for the first year since release. After that, they will become available for purchase to non-members on Plyful and on other platforms.
5. Are the patterns size-inclusive and suitable for all skill levels?
Yes! At Plyful, we take pride in curating patterns that are size-inclusive and suitable for crocheters of all skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced crafter, you’ll find patterns that inspire and challenge you in the best possible way.
6. Are all of Nomad Stitches patterns available on Plyful?
Since Sandra Gutierrez of Nomad Stitches is one of the founders of Plyful, most of the patterns available are hers. However, not all of Nomad Stitches patterns are available on Plyful given that the bar has been raised for this curated collection and only those patterns that are size-inclusive and edited to the current standard have made the cut. Older patterns are being updated and will be added to the collection later on. If there’s anything in specific that you would like to see added, please let us know!
7. Can I cancel my Plyful membership anytime?
Absolutely. While we’d hate to see you go, you have the freedom to cancel your Plyful membership at any time. No strings attached! However, keep in mind that you’ll lose access to the exclusive benefits and patterns that come with being a member.
