Wonderful soft yarn in lovely colours, not started knitting this kit as I need to finish another project first but I’m getting itchy fingers to start it.
Lovely clear instructions and having its own bag to carry it round in is a bonus.

Lovely soft yarn

Lovely soft yarn in gorgeous colours. I bought 3 kits and so far only one made up. The pattern was easy to follow and the finished fingerless turned out well. Only 2 hats to knit now and I'm looking forward to getting started. The kits arrived quickly each in a little cotton bag, I was delighted with this little touch. I'll definitely be buying more.
