4.0 out of 5 stars plenty for the money, October 31, 2005

Suzy-Que "Suze" (Maine) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Alex Yarn Craft Kit in Carry Basket (Toy)

My daughter was pleased as punch. She got 900 feet (that's a lot for child sized mittens and scarves!) of yarn and a pretty basket to keep the things neat. The needles were just fine. A few other kits at our local shop were going for twice this and didn't have as much yarn and the "baskets" were cheap plastic tubs. If something is damaged I know we usually exchange the item to the store or call the manufacturer and they're more than happy to replace items. Also my daughter is seven years old and just entered 1st grade and she had no problems understanding the instructions with a little help from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Birthday Present, March 7, 2006

This review is from: Alex Yarn Craft Kit in Carry Basket (Toy)

We got this as an 11th birthday present for one of my daughter's friends. It was the hit of the birthday party -- all the girls went home with new yarn belts, and my daughter, who can already knit a little, asked if she could have one, too. The colors of yarn are bright and the texture is easy to work with. For our purposes, this was a great birthday present.

The basket is pretty, the the wooden needles were damaged, and we had to go to the library for better basic instructions for my daughter to understand.
