I appreciate you watching and commenting!!
SUPER DENNY!!! So great to see you in the comments!! Hope you are having an amazing start to your weekend!
hi I’m new but have enjoyed a few of your videos. subscribed today 😉
I appreciate you Moyrebo! Welcome to the Super Community!
Barbara looks like a doll.
She is a doll, for sure! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
@Joe Pardo HA that was smooth
Barbara is for sure one of my favorites. She takes a lot of heat from the other Sharks probably because in many ways she is unconventional in her decision making when assessing the entrepreneurs and product effectiveness. But often her gut instincts have proven her right and I think the other Sharks are envious of that. Two examples are Grace and Lace ( $5 million per year) and Comfy, which in just a few short years has amassed close to $300 million.. So don’t mess with her, but I love my Barbara.
Hmmm, would say the system is racist but here are 2 Asians ….hmmm. Something to think about
Super cool keep it going bro
Thank you! 🙂
I appreciate you watching and commenting Akash!
Joe im sorry you gotta deal with these kind of comments lol. Also 4 uploads in under 10 hrs dude? Jesus you’re on that grind dude
@Ahsoka Thank you. It’s all good, people aren’t gonna stop this train! I drop the pitches the night they air. Plus I had a bonus video yesterday with the interview with Pizza Pack from last week’s episode. 🙂
I came here because of the Woobles. You can definitely learn how to crochet on YouTube, actually the Woobles have good videos on Youtube for the true beginner. I even bought a kit from them to support their channel last year, and have bought a couple of their patterns on Etsy, because I found their kits a little expensive.
Love the woobles, currently working on Frank the Dino. I’ve tried to crochet in the past but failed miserably. Took a few attempts/errors/replaying of instructional videos, but once you get the hang of the various sitches, it’s a total breeze & very rewarding
I’m so glad to hear that! I appreciate you watching and commenting Kylee!
You can find crochet how-to videos but their real selling point is the easy peasy yarn. If you use regular yarn to learn with you end up frustrated with it unraveling. The easy peasy yarn doesn’t do that.
Does anyone know what type of yarn it is or anything that’s similar sold in stores?
@Charms The Woobles are going to be selling there easy peasy yarn. I want to says maybe on Amazon. I’ve heard that some macramé and lions brand lazy days yarn are similar.
@Charms I bought a kit before it was on shark tank! I would say the yarn is a little more sturdy, as someone who learned to knit before crocheting (they were the reason I learned!) The yarn doesn’t fray too much so it prevents pushing loops thru the actual yarn. On top of that they break the yarns into smaller bunches so it’s not super overwhelming and weighing you down. Finally it saves you from buying 4 or 5 full sized yarns!
Unrealistic deal, boring business, the last thing we need probably is crochet.
They made over 5 million dollars LOL
Get a hobby….
You can make so many different things with crochet
I bought a Wooble before they were on Shark Tank and I’m so happy they got a deal! The convenience of the kit is well worth the price, especially for those who know nothing about crocheting.
That is great to hear!! I appreciate you watching and commenting!!
Same here! 🙂
I think if they can tear folks away from their cellphones to do something creative it is worth any price.
This negotiation is crazy!!
Yeah it is! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Has any due diligence been done on the numbers? They stated that they are on track for $7M in revenue this year, at $30 per kit over 12 months, that is over 19k kits per month. I have a hard time believing this kind of volume is happening without an existing contract with a big box retailer such as Walmart or Michaels. Amigurumi kits abound on line including Disney and Marvel themes (if they are licensed is another topic) with significantly lower price points. Once you know the technique there are endless books, patterns, and supplies. I also wonder how many first time purchases were driven by the pandemic and how many of those purchasers will continue with this hobby.
Agree with the odd numbers. But I buy every new kit they come out with online and will continue to do so….so maybe they don’t need a big box retailer with loyal followers. Would be best for them not to need that!
I think it’s that once you buy one. You tend to keep buying another one and another one. Because they’re cute and fun.
During the pandemic, it definitely increased people’s want for a hobby to do at home. I started crocheting myself. I’m so happy to have found this company because what they’re doing is incredibly smart. “Magic rings” in crocheting are pretty difficult to learn, and their kits have the ring started for you. But they still have full tutorials for people that want to start themselves. Very much appealing to all experience levels.
That is great to hear! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
I was really hoping for Lori to get a deal with them. Glad they did!
For me it’s not about the confidence gained from having been able to learn something new, but rather about doing an activity that allows my mind to relax and “empty out”. For example, the Happy Color app is my favorite activity to wind down and de-stress, not only because it doesn’t require any skill (and so is an antidote for my OCD), but also because it feels like the closest thing to having magic powers like the TV characters Jeannie Nelson and Samantha Stephens. It’s almost effortless… You just tap the highlighted color-by-numbers space lightly and, like magic, the color flows into / fills in the space instantly. And at the end you have a pretty digital picture.
My favourite part of the Woobles is that I don’t have huge yarn balls shoved in a drawer. That they give me exactly how much I need to make each project. I’m currently on my 5th one!
I am a 36 year old disabled military vet with a special needs daughter. I have never crocheted before and recently decided to pick up a kit to make for my daughter and it was so simple and easy to understand. I have now purchased a bunch of the kits
Respect to you Sir
Thanks for your service! I just bought the Disco Fred kit and I am so excited!
I’m a vet too, was in a bad car wreck and now disabled. It sounds weakass, but I’ve been looking for something to do. Something to keep my mind going and my hands. Growing up in Texas guys aren’t supposed to do this kind of shit. But honestly I don’t care, but it does make it hard to get into anything. I’ve even thought of quilting because I can develop designs, something unique.
Anyway. I guess what I was saying is thanks for the inspiration
The Woobles are awesome, I tell everyone who wants to learn to crochet how they got me started
I LOVE THE WOOBLES!!! im working on the penguin right now!!
That is great to hear! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Love the woobles!!!!
Answer: Yes you can get a free crochet tutorial on YouTube, but #1 It might not be vetted well & may not turn out good, and #2 You will have to buy full skeins of yarn in every color plus crochet hooks if you don’t already have them, and that can be more pricey. As a beginner, this is a perfect learning start without a huge investment.
Where do you get the full episodes?
$200 to $5.3 Million dollars. OMG! Good for them!
Barbara and Robert are roadkills. Lol
Adrian Zhang and Justine Tiu. What a power couple. I love that their previous work experience was perfect to propel them to their ultimate destiny. Wow!
First in Shark history for them to dictate a deal partnership like that with Lori and Mark. Wow!
I’m still waiting for the order. I ordered over two weeks ago.
Mark to Barbara: Because you were in , and for those reasons, Barabara m out,
Mark Cuban or Lori Greiner are asleep at the controls for this. I purchased the ‘in-stock’ bunny and was planning to give to daughter for Christmas. The order was in transit from Jacksonville FL to Melbourne FL (a three hour car drive) for almost a month. First they refund my shipping cost then after a couple more weeks refunded the order. The order then arrives. The package and contents are good. However, to add salt to the wound both the URL and QRC links take you to some (Mark Cuban?) 3rd party hosting sit. You can’t enter the code for the tutorial and end up getting some 3rd party hosting site marketing junk. Idiots.
Shark tank has come a long way from I want to draw a cat for you, and the sending/mailing a potato with a note on it. And your channel has come a long way too, I genuinely hope you go on shark tank some day bro. Please
It’s been such an awesome journey! I appreciate you being a part of this journey and Super Community! Some day, maybe you never know. 😉
Not sure if u realize this but most of us are interested in the episode not your endless opinions. I promise if you spoke less you’d have more subs
I appreciate you watching and commenting Adnan. This is a business education channel.
Barbara : I’m in
Woobles : and for that reason we’re out
I think it was entertaining, but just stop this nonsense. what makes me happy is helping people change to better crap..their price gouging doesn’t show they care. their idea was a money maker, so they jump all over it,and they are making dream money, which wouldn’t happen in corporate world.
I appreciate you watching and commenting Jared.
the most gayest starting first episode ever.
I have been so in love with woobles as a company since purchasing my first kit about a month ago. Along with getting the kit+videos, you have a text line you can message at any time to get more help, and on two separate occasions they’ve given me extra yarn for absolutely free. Their goal isn’t to get you “hooked” onto their products but with the ability to crochet in general. for free they still have plenty of tutorials on their site to help you with basic stitches/techniques. They really follow through with the idea of this being a learning tool, and I love to crochet now!
So glad to hear that! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
I know Justine and helped her work on some of the media when she was just starting out with The Woobles! It’s so surreal seeing her on Shark Tank – well deserved!! She works harder than anybody I know.
That’s great to hear! I appreciate you watching and commenting Liss Cat!
The wobbles actually the best . For my family it’s great it’s cute it’s healthy age friendly
This company is awesome… it’s clear how passionate these two are about their products!
Absolutely! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Make viedo on penn and teller all foolers all season
So these pitchers played the Megadolons who made one shark hit n run over the other..whoa! Great deal clinched
Billion dollar future company 100%
Would be awesome to see! I appreciate you watching and commenting Eduardo! Happy Holidays to you and your family!
We bought these for my 14-year-old niece for Christmas before I ever knew they were on Shark Tank, based on an ad that we saw on Tik Tok. From the time she opened it in the morning till late into the night she worked on it all day practically non-stop/ She loved it. To get a 14 year old to get away from the screen for a constructive activity in this day in age is worth twice what we paid for it!
I got the little Penguin Wooble kit for Christmas from my mom, I just finished the body for it, it turned out pretty good considering I never crocheted before.
That sounds great! I appreciate you watching and commenting Katy!
That was amazing. Great decorum, very classy.
It’s definitely their career experience. I mean user experience and Wall Street.
Definitely helps! I appreciate you watching and commenting Anthony!

They actually have a question when you order on what favorite character that you would want so that they can probably do some analytics on what priorities on getting licensing
you a fuckin asshole bro. we dont want your fuckin 2 cents every 10 minutes! delete this whole playlist
I appreciate you watching and commenting Don. This is a business education channel.
Is there any option or can you put the time where it’s just the shark tank pitch?
They don’t just have answers they have completely thought out answers that make sense!
I love your videos bro. Funny thing is I had always heard of shark tank but I never watched an episode until this year! Lol. I’ve been binge watching as much as I can and I’m glad I ran across your channel.
Thank you so much Carlos! So happy to have you part of the Super Community! I appreciate you!
Its interesting how many views this video gets compared with your average video. I wonder what is different?
82% Youtube Search is why. Some businesses use their pitches to promote their business on social and then people go looking for the pitch. I appreciate you Scott!
Super video !
I appreciate you watching and commenting Richard. This is a business education channel. I take notes throughout the pitches to make sure I keep things straight and to remind me later when I eventually interview the entrepreneurs here on the channel.
Mark cuban commented after the episode that the business owners basically ghosted him and did this only for publicity.
I appreciate you watching and commenting Scott. Where is your source for this?
@Joe Pardo bizjournals and a couple other sites. You can find if you type in cuban and name of company. The company failed to deny marks claim as welll when they were reached out to.
My sister bought one of these, didn’t know it’s actually a shark tank thing lol
“I have spent all that time working for someone else’s definition of success.”
Huge hit to all who’s having a job, not a mock(since I am one of the many) but it’s the reality man and it hurts thinking about that damn.
Im not even a shark but I even felt my ego getting destroyed for Robert and Barbara when they said they wanted Mark and Lori lmao
I’ve tried their kits and now I crochet all the time, the kit is magical, I recommend it to anybody who never touch a hook before
A basic scarf kit would be more cost effective. Guess it’s the easiest way to craft instead of finding a craft group nearby. Most libraries have crafting/knitting/crochet groups. It’s just so expensive compared to regular craft prices. It’s not like there aren’t enough crochet tutorials online.
Poor Robert and Barbara. It hurts so bad
