PlanetJune FAQ
Need help? You'll find it here!

For many years, I offered a small range of specialist crochet tools and other physical products through my occasional PlanetJune Crochet Tools pop-up shop, including some unique tools I designed myself.

Unfortunately, the increasing difficulties and costs involved in shipping small packages internationally mean that it’s no longer practical for me to keep the pop-up shop open.

PlanetJune-exclusive crochet tools

I designed several unique tools specifically to solve problems I encountered when making amigurumi.

Detail Stuffing Tool

Detail Stuffing Tool by PlanetJune

A specially designed tool that lets you:

  • Get a grip on your stuffing
  • Stuff the tiniest pieces
  • Stuff right into the corners

Perfect for crocheted, knitted, or sewn stuffed toys and amigurumi.

I also developed optional strong, lightweight aluminum handles to add length and additional strength to the original all-plastic tool.

Stitch Markers for Crochet

Stitch Markers for Crochet by PlanetJune

The classic PlanetJune favourite stitch markers for crochet, made originally in translucent coloured plastic and later upgraded to extra-strong black plastic, with a rounded tip that won’t snag yarn, a secure clasp that won’t pop open accidentally, a large enough size to be able to open and close easily, and a super-cute safety pin shape.

These markers are much tougher and better shaped than standard plastic stitch markers, with a wider opening and more resilience against breakage.

PlanetJune Enamel Pins

PlanetJune Logo and Turtle Beach enamel pins

Wearable and collectable high-quality soft enamel pins with silver outlines, with a black rubber PVC clutch back. I designed two pin styles:

  • PlanetJune Logo pin (0.75″/2cm)
  • Turtle Beach pin (1″/2.5cm)

Looking for these products?

If you need any of my retired tools or enamel pins, you’re welcome to contact me. I can’t promise that I’ll have one available or be able to ship it to you, but I may be able to help.

And if you’d like to order a PlanetJune sticker or signed bookplate, I can still send those by lettermail, so there’s no problem with shipping!
