Hook & stitch your way to the top!
It all starts pretty simple – you just want to be a bit crafty. You think you’ll make yourself a nice hat or comfy scarf. But before you know it, you’ve got more yarn than you know what to do with, and new project ideas are popping up daily! What better way to motivate you and your fellow ravels to power through those WIPs than a little friendly competition.
Now’s your chance to make a splash crafting in the community! In ArchRavels you compete against your friends (and rivals) to craft patterns, fulfill special requests, and complete projects. Manage your time and stash effectively to earn the most points and get yourself a little craft circle bragging rights.
Description
Experience the colorful and crafty world of fiber arts with ArchRavels! Play as one of four characters, each with their own unique crafting specialty. Hit the Yarn Bazaar to build up your stash. Follow the patterns to make cuddly bears, warm blankets, and cozy scarves. Along the way you’ll get some unique special requests. Turn in your completed items to master a pattern, complete projects, and score points. When the project list runs out, the crafter with the most points wins!

The Characters
Rebecca, the shopper
The thrill of the hunt – especially when that hunt is great deals on supplies for your stash! Rebecca knows her way around the bazaar and gets more shopping actions than any other character
Derrick, the crafter
Derrick has a single focus: make stuff. He was born a maker and he’s honed his crafting skill. Need to make 4 items in a single turn; he’s the only one who can do it.
Neeha, the Color Specialist
After years of building up her stash Neeha decided she was done searching for the perfect colors – now she just makes it. The only character who can ignore those pesky “color requirements”.
Ted, the Spinner
Ted learned a long time ago that best way to get all the yarn you want – is to make it! Some say he spends more time spinning than actually crafting. But Ted don’t care. LOOK AT ALL HIS YARN! The only character that makes yarn – without shopping for it.
