Deramores FAQs
Published on February 1, 2022 7 min readYou might have already heard that Deramores closed its doors for the final time this January. After more than ten years, unfortunately, the owners made the decision to close the business and find a new place for makers to shop.
LoveCrafts Group Limited has now acquired some of the assets of Deramores, including its yarn stock and digital assets; including patterns and tutorials, providing customers a place to shop for all their knitting, crochet and craft supplies.
We know many of you will be very sad to lose Deramores. They had a fantastic product range and awesome customer service to match, not to mention a lovely community of crafters. Here at LoveCrafts, we promise to bring you the same focus on excellent service, and work hard to bring you your favourite products, so you can continue your crafting journey.
We hope to answer all your questions, but if there’s anything else you’d like to share with us, we’d really love to hear from you - just send us your feedback here.
