Cheap guitar strings, incomplete product idea

Guess I'll be the first to differ from the rave reviews here. What I received turned out to be cheap guitar strings, hand rolled into a circle and tied with haversack ribbon to hold them together. Keep the tie as you will need it for storage if you decide to use it. When I say guitar strings, I mean the unwound/smooth acoustic guitar strings; Top strings that I wouldn't call superelastic based on the product description I've read. There is no protection at the end of the wire (unless you are familiar with guitar strings, they are blunt and sharp) and I would never include them in a mesh project. I spend my time knitting with good yarn. You also get a few pins in a small pouch. If that's all you need, try DIY. I am returning this product. This is at best the beginning of a product idea; unfinished and certainly so overpriced. You will need a better quality wire with a protected end, which ideally allows you to secure the ends if they are blocked.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

I have no idea if it is just poor quality control or if the description is wrong
