Why sell your patterns with LoveCrafts

Crafting is so much more than making. It’s the connection between like-minded souls, it’s learning new skills and sharing your passion. It’s that fuzzy feeling from making something with your own hands. It’s pure joy. And we know you get that too. We want the millions of makers around the world to find brilliant designs like yours and we help make sure that happens. 

We know you have to wear many hats, designer, marketer, customer service agent, accountant, yarn expert, the list goes on. So, we aim to help make this all a bit easier by offering you fantastic marketing support with no extra work on your part. (Yippee!)

Plus, you don’t have to worry about collecting VAT on your EU sales – LoveCrafts is VAT responsible (check us out!). We also handle customer service queries – giving you more time to spend on the things you love, making and creating new beautiful patterns.

Who can become a Designer?

Answer: If you design, you’re a designer!

We believe that any maker has the potential to be a designer.

Do you have an idea for a pattern, and can you clearly explain how to make it? If you answered yes then you’ve got this. If you’d like to learn more, read this blog post.

So how do I sell my patterns at LoveCrafts?Criteria for selling patterns through LoveCrafts

So long as you don’t sell any yarns on LoveCrafts, as this would mean you’re a supplier brand (minor detail!) you can sell your patterns through us as an independent designer.

If you’re a brand and would like to sell your patterns with us, get in touch with our buying team at buying-and-merchandising@lovecrafts.com and we’ll see what we can do!

If you’re unsure, or want to be pointed to the right person please email us.

If everything looks good, your patterns are usually approved in five working days, and you’ll receive a confirmation email when it’s up on the site and available to buy. If for any reason your pattern isn’t approved, we’ll send you an email explaining why with help to fix it.

Creating your Designer Account

It’s quick and easy to set up your account!

Head to the Designers site. If you’re already a customer with LoveCrafts you can also create a Designer account from your customer account, by clicking on the “Sell your Patterns” button at the bottom of every page on LoveCrafts. 

From there you can get started with uploading your patterns, or import them directly from Ravelry. Yup, that’s right! We told you it was quick and easy 🙂
