Great components for any knitter

Nice set. Although I already knit I wanted to try this brand of thread and needle and this was a great way to do it. The yarn is easy to work with, appears well twisted and does not break.

Pros
  • delivery was very quick

  • crumpled

Pros
  • Easy to Use
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
