I love the accessory kit that came with it. I have three of those now. One I put together of my mom's crochet hooks I gathered after she passed, one with ergonomic hooks that my daughter gave me (which I love!), and one with light up hooks from my mother-in-law. It is so convenient to have them all together with needles and clippers. I am not a fan of the yarn or amount of it. For a beginner, I think it would be best to use the accessory kit and build your own with instructions for a simple scarf/hat/ear warmers and enough yarn to complete the project. This gives them something to work toward but not overwhelm them.
I like it because it is great for starters. They can practice and practice crocheting squares or whatever and it will encourage them. I would get it for sure
This is a really nice starter kit which some great notions. The variety of yarn has something for everyone. I would probably make a kit for some but this kit has a lot of hooks and yarn. Thank you for sharing this kit and doing a helpful review.
The needle accessory kit makes the whole kit special,helps to have storage to put in your take along with you. I think that the kit is great. There's a lot of things in the kit that I coild use so I would keep it. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Totally agree that the accessory kit was the best thing. It's the kind of kit to get young children to start and learn with. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Never have seen anyone do one before. ☮🙏💜💡☯️🇺🇲
This was a great video to show off that kit. If I were a beginner I would def consider buying it. I do agree not knowing anything about that yarn is a bit hesitant on my end to give to friends/family. Thank you again for sharing!!
I bought the larger kit and I wish you would have named off what size of needle should be used on this yarn, I'm not a beginner but I'm a self taught & thought this kit would help me with the correct size needle, I'm mean really how hard would it have been to add on the thank you card the info for the yarn. It's all the same yarn so it didn't need to be put on each package just once maybe in the book. The internet taught me the last afghans I made, you telling me the size of thread gave me a way of finding the needle size. The kit saves you money by having multi colors of yarn which helps someone starting crocheting. Thank you! Sharon
Yes it's a nice starter kit but I agree with you, grab a couple skeins from the dollar store, sometimes you can find hooks there too. The hook and accessory kit are the star of that kit. I got a small pouch hook set for my daughter for Christmas and I use it more than she does just because of the accessories. The tape measure even saved the day at a quilt retreat!
I agree the accessory bag with the hooks is nice. I would get a regular beginner crochet book just in case the person doesn't have good Internet service. I like the variety of yarn, I agree it should have the info on the band. Good luck everyone. Have a beautiful day
I like this beginner kit. I've used a booklet like that years ago and it may be lacking in today's time but a beginner could get by with it. The accessories bag and its contents is great and has items i wouldn't think of. I agree, the main thing that's lacking is no information on the yarn. Thank you for the great review and the giveaway. It'd make a great short vacation/hospital stay project item and/or gift to give someone who is just learning. So, I'd probably purchase it but winning it would be better. LOL. Take care.
The accessory kit is the best thing about this kit. I would probably not purchase this, but put one together myself with a better book and maybe some links to some beginner tutorials. Thank you Mel for this give away and good luck to everyone.
I think this kit would be good for someone wanting to start out crocheting. I do agree with giving a list of You tube channels that show step by step instructions for beginners. I really like the hook set and notions that come in it. I might even buy it for myself. I think the yarn would be good for granny square projects. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this!
I love the accessory kit with the basic ergonomic hooks. I am a knife-crocheter and really want a flat spot for my thumb. That yarn colors are pretty and varied. I might give it to a young person interested in our craft, but as you suggested, with a list of YT videos or a real How to Crochet Book, and some yarn with adequate information. These would be good for practice pieces, perhaps to hang onto if I liked a particular stitch pattern, or to frog and reuse. It's sad not to even have an estimate of the yardage in the mini skeins. Thank you for the giveaway!
Exactly! That information is an important part of learning too - but I agree - using it as practice yarn would be perfect. In the Product description on Amazon it does say Acrylic and 55 yards - but it really needs to be on the packaging somewhere.
It is okay for a beginner. I agree w your rating of 4 stars. I’m a fairly experienced crocheter. I like the the zip up tool kit. I love the colors of the yarn When I look at those colors all I see is Easter eggs! I love making Easter items. Good luck everybody. 🍀🍀🍀
The Amazon ad,, for the kit, states that the yarn is acrylic. As for the hook size, it depends on what you are making and the stiches you will use. I have yarn that I use three different size hooks with depending on what I'm making. The books isn't very useful, as you say, but other than that is is a pretty good buy for the money though it has gone up to almost $30 as of October, '22.
Hey Mel! I like it. Maybe the bag it came in could be a project bag, if is has see through side, I love that. The crichet hook pouch is great too. I would use the yarn but if I was gifting I would replace it.
If I won it, then yes I would give it to a new crocheter (after I removed the knitting tools and included a good yarn needle). I have never purchased beginner kits for those I taught to crochet. When I taught my daughter and 2 granddaughters, I just gave them a little of my stash....hooks, scissors, stitch markers and yarn. I think it would be a bit overwhelming to give them that kit, especially with all of the knitting accessories. Reading a yarn label and fiber content care is a pretty important lesson for newbies. Thanks for showing us this.
There were several items that were very nice. I agree about the book. If I were to give it away, I'd insert a list of You Tube connections. Fun give-away!
I do think it is a decent starter kit maybe like you replace the yarn and include some youtube channel for learning how to crochet. I am not that thrilled that they used the clover colors but what can you say. I do love the snips.
Hello, i love the way you described the kit and you honesty is amazing. I feel like the book should've included some patterns of thing you can do with the yarn it came with and of course more information on the yarn. Thank you for your generosity God bless you and yours! Good luck everyone!!!
Hi Mel, I’ve seen these kits on Amazon and wondered if it was a good deal. The tool kit looked similar to clover hooks so thank you for that review. The tool kit is so cute. As a beginner crocheter I was confused with some of the tools when I saw it on Amazon. I am learning amigurumi but I agree, info on the yarn would be helpful. Your review of this kit was very helpful. If I purchased this I think iI would add a better beginner crochet book, label the tools and how to use them-and maybe a pattern or two that would work with the yarn then give it to my granddaughter who is 13. Thank for the give away its a cute all in one kit!
I would purchase the kit and have looked at them many times because my sister is interested in learning since she is on bed rest with this pregnancy. I would definitely throw in a few extras and some links to beginner videos. Good luck everyone, and Thank you Mel for the awesome give away.
Hi Melanie. I think it's a cute kit, although I do agree with you about the yarn content for people with alergies. I think making a kit for someone is a good idea that way it is customizable for the receiver. I think giving basic as well as ergonomic hooks is a good option, that way the person can decide what is most comfortable. Thank you for the opportunity to win such a cute kit.
Yes, I would buy this kit and try to see how much it would cost to put another one together. On my own I would like to see if it would be worthwhile to do for my granddaughters. Thanks for sharing!
What a cute kit, everything you need all in one. I never really look at the hook size on yarn labels. More so on the patterns. It might just be a little too much to purchase. I do love the Dollar Tree yarns so I could replace with them. It could be a good little travel bag for in the car to leave there for short trips. I read on the site that they are 55 yards per ball and it's unavailable. Thanks Mel!
The enclosed kit itself without anything else is worth the money. I would get it. But I agree, if I was gifting this to a beginner I wouldn't even include the handbook.
That would be a good gift for a beginner. Thank you for sharing and reviewing this. I agree that this looks very much like a beginner and the stitch book looks fair to poor.
You do I must say do the best description of what is what. This kit would and will be a great beginner set for my daughter who is learning. I agree the little hook holder best in lot.😉 Thank You for the info. Stay Safe
I actually was looking at this kit when I needed more hooks. Now, after the review, not sure if I would get it for myself. But think it is a great cost for all the supplies for a new crochet enthusiast. Love your idea of slipping in some UA-cam suggestions. Definitely better than trying to read instructions (for me anyway). Thank you for sharing.
I love kits lol for some reason they’re always packaged cute and remind me of getting a gift box of toys lol like the deluxe lego set or something 😂😂❤️❤️
Yes, I like the tool kit. For beginners it is a nice starter bag/kit. I do agree it's short on yarn and hook info. I would wait to purchase it when it goes on sale though.
Thank you for your honesty with the yarn kit. I love the tool kit and the vibrant colors, and for the price I think I would buy it, especially for a beginner crocheter, mainly because it has everything an individual needs to have to start off with in one little bag.
I think this is a cute little kit for a beginner. I really like that it includes the tools, and the case is super cute. The only thing I don't care for is the fact that the skeins are so small. I think beginners are eager to create their first project and there's not much here to work with. I would probably include a few regular size skeins and a book with some simple beginner projects. If I were to win this kit, I would probably share it with someone who wants to learn to crochet. I have so many friends that think I should teach others, but not sure about my "teaching" skills....lol
I would probably get one of those you could probably make coasters. That would a good thing for beginners or anyone. The supplies are worth the give away.
I think this kit would be great for beginners. With those size of skeins they can learn to change colors along with their stitches. Thank you Melanie 😊
Hello, wow, wow, wow you are totally honest with us about that yarn. I was laughing my heart out because is not always someone that will tell you the total truth about something here on UA-cam. Lord have mercy thank you for telling me about that yarn. I do like the little pouch and the little cut in tool. But I think I would rather look for just that part of it than the yarn.
I love your honest review of the crochet kit! I definitely wouldn’t buy that kit for myself or for a friend wanting to learn to crochet. The pack with the hooks and tools I would consider buying at the right price. The rest of that kit wouldn’t be very useful. I could put together a better and less expensive kit. However, if I could win it I have a niece I would give it to so she can have the tool kit. 😊
I agree for a beginner it is missing important info but for an experienced crocheter it would be great for small projects, trim, amigurumi. The case is the best part of it but am happy to hear the yarn is fairly soft. The price point is good. TFS 💜
I've considered getting a kit similar with the stitch holder and crochet hooks. Yarn I would definitely get an assortment from the dollar tree because I know it's acrylic and cotton and an assortment of colors. This is a nice set some weight or yardage information on the yarn would be great for better decision making.
i think that would be a good beginner kit...i have 2 young granddaughters ages 6 and 8 and i think this would be perfect. thank you for sharing and the chance to enter
Thank you so much for your honest review. I think I got a similar kit for a Christmas gift. The accessories are the best thing. I would definitely make my own starter kit if I was going to gift a beginner. I would still use the kit, but I would give the accessories and get some good yarn and links to beginning tutorials like you mentioned.
What a cool kit! I think it would make a great gift for someone and with all that great acrylic yarn! Really a great package! Hey from Hiddenite North Carolina!!💜💚
What a great beginner kit. I'd gift this to Rusty (my daughter) she's a newbie to crochet & knitting. It's perfect becuz it's small and all inclusive 😊 What a great giveaway ❤️
Love the tool kit and the awesome review of those Amazon kits. ive seen them many times but couldn't bring myself to buy them not knowing what quality i would be getting. I would add that yarn to some other one skein yarns I have and make a multicolored afghan. thank you for the helpful reviews. I would love to win this kit.
Thanks Mel, I think if you don't know about crochet and wanted to get this for someone beginning or for yourself it's cute. As an experienced crocheter I would make my own kit for someone, but again it's cute!
Nice review Mel, I think as a beginner kits awesome and I think I would consider having one as a emergency kit in my car. You never know it might come in very handy. Thank you so much for the review, it was very well explained in good details. 🥰
The kit is not the best as you said, but it could be nice for making a project that only requires small amounts of different color yarns. The little crochet case is super cute. I just found you today, and enjoy your channel. Smiles & Hugs, Claudia
Love the kit part with hooks and zip pocket love the yarn cutting tool and I would do like you mentioned and replace the yarn with Just Yarn and use the resealable bags or maybe put a gift card inside the zipper pouch I would probably buy this for the zip pouch and tools Thank you for reviewing this kit Winning would be fun Good luck everyone
Hello. I am new to your page and new to crochet and I wouldnt purchase that for a beginner. I would definitely create my own little package for some one who is interested in learning the art of crochet. Thank you for your review.
I think I would keep the notions pouch in the bag & add some small skeins of yarn from the Dollar Tree, and maybe find another beginner crochet book to put in with it. And the yarn in it can be used to practice on. Does it say the sizes on the hooks? It's not a bad kit.
I think if I was going to give it as a gift I would give a few yarns from dollar tree like you suggested, good idea. Thanks for your giveaway. Be blessed
I would definitely purchase this kit as something to give to a beginner and then help them decidw what size hook to use and a project that they could make. I would love this as a gift for a beginner. Thank-you so much for this giveaway and good luck everyone!
Great review! The hook and notion case looks awesome. I started crocheting at 7 and a kit like this would have made me so happy, would be great for a younger crocheter who will have a teacher to explain the book and teach them about the yarn.
Usually I like kits like this. I think I might get something similar for the tool pack. Also agree at this point not impressed by mystery yarn with no content, yardage or weight- hook needle recommendations, especially if this is for someone new to crochet or any yarn work.
It is weird there is no information about the yarn. Do they not sell that yarn separately? I think it would be a good kit to give my granddaughter. Thank you for s chance to win.
I agree totally with your assessment of the kit. The book is lacking, and no information about the yarn. The hooks and needles are awesome! I would probably purchase this for someone who would like to try to learn to crochet. Thank you for the lovely giveaway 🐰🐰
Thank you Mel great review! I would not give this kit to someone who knows nothing but maybe a beginner who knows basic stitches or as you suggested throw in some just yarn and some good youtube beginning crochet teachers.
I truly appreciate your honesty. It would be a great starter kit but I’d make my own for a starter. The yarns look like they’d be awesome for amigurumi. I like all the yarn in this kit but how could they not include the specs? I clicked on the link and it does say 100% acrylic and 55 yards in each skein. Guess you have to keep a note with the kit to remember.
I think if I were going to pull the yarn it came with, out and replace it with better yarn from the Dollar Tree, adding a USB drive with a guide to reading patterns and a few of your favorites would fit in there somewhere and add such a nice personal touch. Or a link to a youtube playlist. 💜I wish I knew someone who wanted to start a crochet journey.
I am a beginner at crochet, but I have been knitting for years. I would just buy a set of crochet hooks, a notions bag (with scissors measuring tape turning needles etc.) and get some nice yarn and make a list of the best UA-cam crochet teachers. That is what I'd do if I was giving a beginner crochet kit to someone.
Loved this honest review!! I'd take it if someone bought it for me......I'd get the tool/hook bag and give it to a new crocheter some yarn with a pattern and channel suggestions. I really like the tool/hook part of this kit....the rest is too complicated for a newbie to navigate, honestly!!
It is a cute starter kit. I have made a few kits for others. I'm with you tho what's the deal with the no yarn info. I'm teaching a neighbor to crochet. She's young so it would be a great gift for her.
Hi Melanie you did an awesome job on your review. I have a neice just started to crochet this would be great for her, I think I'd take out the knitting stuff and replace it with more crochet toosl. Thanks for sharing 🤗
This is such a cute kit. I would like to win this baby and give it as a gift to my daughter to inspire her to learn how to crochet. Thanks for the chance. Have a good weekend
The bag looks like it's made of the same material as my reusable grocery bags lol I'd make a basket ~ a beginners starter & add little things like a pkg of stitch markers from a vendor (support local vendors when poss, some pretty crane scizors & a nice, ergonomic set of books to get started
I love the accessory kit that came with it. I have three of those now. One I put together of my mom's crochet hooks I gathered after she passed, one with ergonomic hooks that my daughter gave me (which I love!), and one with light up hooks from my mother-in-law. It is so convenient to have them all together with needles and clippers. I am not a fan of the yarn or amount of it.

Thank you Mel! I agree that the needle accessory kit makes the whole kit special, always helps to have storage to put in your take along bag. ❤️😁❤️
I would buy the kit for my daughter who wants to learn to crochet. Thank you for showing us the kit. I always wanted one.
The needle accessory kit makes the whole kit special,helps to have storage to put in your take along with you. I think that the kit is great. There's a lot of things in the kit that I coild use so I would keep it. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
The kit is beautiful. The Needles are highlight of this kit. Thank you.

Very exciting, never heard of this kit. It is a very nice one in my opinion. Thank you. Maybe cover in shopping bag materials.
Yes it's a nice starter kit but I agree with you, grab a couple skeins from the dollar store, sometimes you can find hooks there too. The hook and accessory kit are the star of that kit. I got a small pouch hook set for my daughter for Christmas and I use it more than she does just because of the accessories. The tape measure even saved the day at a quilt retreat!

I think this kit would be good for someone wanting to start out crocheting. I do agree with giving a list of You tube channels that show step by step instructions for beginners. I really like the hook set and notions that come in it. I might even buy it for myself. I think the yarn would be good for granny square projects. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this!
I think that’s a nice beginners kit. I luv the color of the yarn. I think I would make a bunch of colorful granny squares with it.
Thanks for your honesty, I would like to be able to gift this gift to a loved one. Thank you for your videos and your generosity ❤️
Good review Mel. Thorough and everything you need to know that I can think of. Thanks. ❤️
Glad it was helpful! I appreciate your feedback :-)
I love the accessory kit with the basic ergonomic hooks. I am a knife-crocheter and really want a flat spot for my thumb. That yarn colors are pretty and varied.

Hi! I think I can use the yard to make a pass for my dogs. I love the kit and I always need a yarn bag. Thank you Mel.
I would like to try that kit it's been years since I crocheted.👍😍
Hey Mel! I like it. Maybe the bag it came in could be a project bag, if is has see through side, I love that. The crichet hook pouch is great too. I would use the yarn but if I was gifting I would replace it.
I think so too! It would be a smaller project, but could easily fit all you need for a hat or scarf!
Well Thank you for being so honest! The small accessory bag is worth it though. It would make a nice gift to a novice crafter. Thank you.
I would love to give that as a gift. It has all the necessities for starting out
If I won it, then yes I would give it to a new crocheter (after I removed the knitting tools and included a good yarn needle). I have never purchased beginner kits for those I taught to crochet. When I taught my daughter and 2 granddaughters, I just gave them a little of my stash....hooks, scissors, stitch markers and yarn. I think it would be a bit overwhelming to give them that kit, especially with all of the knitting accessories. Reading a yarn label and fiber content care is a pretty important lesson for newbies. Thanks for showing us this.
Nice little kit for a beginner. I agree, the yarn needs more info so you know what you are working with
Hi Mel, The crochet kit is really nice for those who want to learn how to crochet. Anyone would like to learn it would be a very good kit for them.
I’ve have never bought any kind of kits to crochet. Cool colors. That bag would be a great bag for a trip so u can keep ur yarn in on a project.
There were several items that were very nice. I agree about the book. If I were to give it away, I'd insert a list of You Tube connections. Fun give-away!
I do think it is a decent starter kit maybe like you replace the yarn and include some youtube channel for learning how to crochet. I am not that thrilled that they used the clover colors but what can you say. I do love the snips.

I think the kit is a nice one and for a young beginning it is good... Thank you
Hi Melanie. I think it's a cute kit, although I do agree with you about the yarn content for people with alergies.

Amazing video! Make a review of Fluffydot crochet kits please ❤
You do I must say do the best description of what is what. This kit would and will be a great beginner set for my daughter who is learning. I agree the little hook holder best in lot.😉
Thank You for the info. Stay Safe
I actually was looking at this kit when I needed more hooks. Now, after the review, not sure if I would get it for myself. But think it is a great cost for all the supplies for a new crochet enthusiast. Love your idea of slipping in some UA-cam suggestions. Definitely better than trying to read instructions (for me anyway). Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for being up front and truthful. I like this kit. It really is a great deal for amigarumi. I would definitely use it. The hooks look great.
I agree - definitely perfect for Amigurumi - and you don't have to worry about the fiber content
I love kits lol for some reason they’re always packaged cute and remind me of getting a gift box of toys lol like the deluxe lego set or something 😂😂❤️❤️

I would probably get one of those you could probably make coasters. That would a good thing for beginners or anyone. The supplies are worth the give away.
Great idea - what a colorful wonderful set of coasters!
I think this kit would be great for beginners. With those size of skeins they can learn to change colors along with their stitches. Thank you Melanie 😊
I love your hook reviews! I'm impressed with the organization of the kit.
Great starting gift for teaching a newbie. Thank You 😊

I totally agree! I actually have another video I filmed - just need to edit and get it posted - comparing buying a kit like this and DIYing it
How cool is this? Awesome giveaway and would fit nicely in a project bag 🧶❤
I think it looks like a cute kit. I would totally give this to my sister who is thinking about switching from knitting to crochet! 😊😊😊
I agree for a beginner it is missing important info but for an experienced crocheter it would be great for small projects, trim, amigurumi. The case is the best part of it but am happy to hear the yarn is fairly soft. The price point is good. TFS 💜
That looks like a interesting kit for a beginner. I might get that for a beginner since it comes with all the tools needed as well.
I've considered getting a kit similar with the stitch holder and crochet hooks. Yarn I would definitely get an assortment from the dollar tree because I know it's acrylic and cotton and an assortment of colors. This is a nice set some weight or yardage information on the yarn would be great for better decision making.
i think that would be a good beginner kit...i have 2 young granddaughters ages 6 and 8 and i think this would be perfect. thank you for sharing and the chance to enter
Thank you so much for your honest review. I think I got a similar kit for a Christmas gift. The accessories are the best thing. I would definitely make my own starter kit if I was going to gift a beginner. I would still use the kit, but I would give the accessories and get some good yarn and links to beginning tutorials like you mentioned.
What a cool kit! I think it would make a great gift for someone and with all that great acrylic yarn! Really a great package! Hey from Hiddenite North Carolina!!💜💚
What a great beginner kit. I'd gift this to Rusty (my daughter) she's a newbie to crochet & knitting. It's perfect becuz it's small and all inclusive 😊 What a great giveaway ❤️
Love the tool kit and the awesome review of those Amazon kits. ive seen them many times but couldn't bring myself to buy them not knowing what quality i would be getting. I would add that yarn to some other one skein yarns I have and make a multicolored afghan. thank you for the helpful reviews. I would love to win this kit.
Thanks Mel, I think if you don't know about crochet and wanted to get this for someone beginning or for yourself it's cute. As an experienced crocheter I would make my own kit for someone, but again it's cute!
Nice review Mel, I think as a beginner kits awesome and I think I would consider having one as a emergency kit in my car. You never know it might come in very handy. Thank you so much for the review, it was very well explained in good details. 🥰
The kit is not the best as you said, but it could be nice for making a project that only requires small amounts of different color yarns. The little crochet case is super cute. I just found you today, and enjoy your channel. Smiles & Hugs, Claudia
I think this kit is great for a beginner for sure. Thanks for the yarn 🧶 kit giveaway
Nice video thank you for sharing. I might purchase for someone. Maybe one day buy for my self.
Love the kit part with hooks and zip pocket love the yarn cutting tool and I would do like you mentioned and replace the yarn with Just Yarn and use the resealable bags or maybe put a gift card inside the zipper pouch
I would probably buy this for the zip pouch and tools
Thank you for reviewing this kit
Winning would be fun
Good luck everyone
Hello. I am new to your page and new to crochet and I wouldnt purchase that for a beginner. I would definitely create my own little package for some one who is interested in learning the art of crochet. Thank you for your review.
I do think these are nice kits. I would buy this for myself if I was just starting out. Thanks for this giveaway!!
I think I would keep the notions pouch in the bag & add some small skeins of yarn from the Dollar Tree, and maybe find another beginner crochet book to put in with it. And the yarn in it can be used to practice on. Does it say the sizes on the hooks? It's not a bad kit.
I think if I was going to give it as a gift I would give a few yarns from dollar tree like you suggested, good idea. Thanks for your giveaway. Be blessed
I would definitely purchase this kit as something to give to a beginner and then help them decidw what size hook to use and a project that they could make. I would love this as a gift for a beginner. Thank-you so much for this giveaway and good luck everyone!
Great review! The hook and notion case looks awesome. I started crocheting at 7 and a kit like this would have made me so happy, would be great for a younger crocheter who will have a teacher to explain the book and teach them about the yarn.
Usually I like kits like this. I think I might get something similar for the tool pack. Also agree at this point not impressed by mystery yarn with no content, yardage or weight- hook needle recommendations, especially if this is for someone new to crochet or any yarn work.
It is weird there is no information about the yarn. Do they not sell that yarn separately? I think it would be a good kit to give my granddaughter. Thank you for s chance to win.
I agree totally with your assessment of the kit. The book is lacking, and no information about the yarn. The hooks and needles are awesome! I would probably purchase this for someone who would like to try to learn to crochet. Thank you for the lovely giveaway 🐰🐰
I'm interested in paying it forward and one for myself.
Thank you Mel great review! I would not give this kit to someone who knows nothing but maybe a beginner who knows basic stitches or as you suggested throw in some just yarn and some good youtube beginning crochet teachers.
I thought that would make a great gift for my granddaughter who wants to learn to crochet. One could make one siniliar.
I truly appreciate your honesty. It would be a great starter kit but I’d make my own for a starter. The yarns look like they’d be awesome for amigurumi. I like all the yarn in this kit but how could they not include the specs? I clicked on the link and it does say 100% acrylic and 55 yards in each skein. Guess you have to keep a note with the kit to remember.
I think if I were going to pull the yarn it came with, out and replace it with better yarn from the Dollar Tree, adding a USB drive with a guide to reading patterns and a few of your favorites would fit in there somewhere and add such a nice personal touch. Or a link to a youtube playlist. 💜I wish I knew someone who wanted to start a crochet journey.
Nice giveaway. I like the accessory kit it's so cute. Best of luck to everyone.
I am a beginner at crochet, but I have been knitting for years. I would just buy a set of crochet hooks, a notions bag (with scissors measuring tape turning needles etc.) and get some nice yarn and make a list of the best UA-cam crochet teachers. That is what I'd do if I was giving a beginner crochet kit to someone.
Loved this honest review!! I'd take it if someone bought it for me......I'd get the tool/hook bag and give it to a new crocheter some yarn with a pattern and channel suggestions. I really like the tool/hook part of this kit....the rest is too complicated for a newbie to navigate, honestly!!
It is a cute starter kit. I have made a few kits for others. I'm with you tho what's the deal with the no yarn info. I'm teaching a neighbor to crochet. She's young so it would be a great gift for her.
Hi Melanie you did an awesome job on your review. I have a neice just started to crochet this would be great for her, I think I'd take out the knitting stuff and replace it with more crochet toosl. Thanks for sharing 🤗
This is such a cute kit. I would like to win this baby and give it as a gift to my daughter to inspire her to learn how to crochet. Thanks for the chance. Have a good weekend
The bag looks like it's made of the same material as my reusable grocery bags lol
I'd make a basket ~ a beginners starter & add little things like a pkg of stitch markers from a vendor (support local vendors when poss, some pretty crane scizors & a nice, ergonomic set of books to get started
YES! The grocery bags! I think that is a very close comparison. And a basket sounds lovely.
I think it would be a nice set for if you have a child or teen that wants to try learning to crochet
I think I would make my own kit but I think the yarn is in beautiful colors
The kit is good for starters, i would probably gift it ro my sister since she wanted to start with it. I love the colours of the yarns xD
