Annie's Kit Clubs
Craft kits from a publisher trading since 1975, with excellent instructions and a fulfilment record that has collapsed since 2025.
Craft kit subscriptions from Annie's, a Texas publisher trading since 1975, spanning crochet, quilting, beading and children's woodworking.
Annie’s Kit Clubs are the subscription arm of Annie’s, a craft publisher that has been trading since 1975 and files with the Better Business Bureau as Annie’s Publishing LLC, also listed as Annie’s Attic. The business runs from Big Sandy, Texas, with a long-established second site at Berne, Indiana.
The publishing side came first and still shapes the product. Annie’s has spent five decades producing crochet and quilting patterns, magazines and instructional material, and the kit clubs are essentially that expertise packaged with the materials needed to follow it.
Instruction quality is the genuine strength. Kits arrive with patterns written by a publisher that has produced them professionally for fifty years, frequently in more than one format, and supported by video tutorials. For a beginner working alone, that is worth more than the materials.
Breadth is the other advantage. Few craft subscriptions cover crochet, knitting, quilting, beading and children’s woodworking under one roof, and the clubs are sold separately rather than as one rotating box, so subscribers choose a discipline rather than accepting whatever arrives.
The company migrated to a new digital platform in 2025, and its independent record since then is poor. Its Better Business Bureau file shows 62 complaints closed in three years, and its Trustpilot profile under the kit clubs domain sits at 1.4. The recurring themes are kits arriving months late or not at all, support that answers with templates, and cancellation requests that go unactioned.
The grades point in opposite directions, and the box page sets out how we weigh them against each other. Anyone considering a club should read that section before subscribing.
