Review on ๐ŸŒต DIY Carpet Embroidery Latch Hook Kit - Tapestry and Rug Needlework Set with Button Package, Point Rug Cactus Design by Jennifer Roberts

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Bad Color Choice

Found this at Revain and thought it would make a nice gift for a friend. It took less than a week to make. Pros* Enough yarn for all colors.* The hook that came with it was big enough for me to grab it easily.* The edges and back were already covered. really only 1 line. This is normal enough, but renders the sample sheet unusable. Bad news: Some colors require sample sheets.* The yarn was cut incorrectly and in different sizes. About 20% needs to be trimmed; 1-2% was too little to use and was thrown away.* The biggest problem was choosing the color to print the pattern on the fabric. Unlike the image above, the pattern was very faint. The dark colors were fine, but the light colors were so faded that there was no difference between the reds, light yellows, and light greens in the pattern. All were pale pink. This isn't my first set of snap hooks, but it's been a long time. I doubt I will return to this hobby.

Pros
  • Carabiner Embroidered Carpet (Matte) is unfinished DIY embroidery kit, it should be finished by yourself.
Cons
  • Available in white only
