This is one of the better designs. It is very colorful. It is also U.S. made.

This is an adorable picture, but when I opened it to discover numerous colors with a slight variation I had to resort to counting the strads to see what color was which. It says on the guide one color is orange turns out is really pink. Be careful when putting together or else you may discover what you thought was one color was really another color.

Love latch hook and this design "would" have been great "IF" they would have given my daughter enough yarn. Ran out of a couple colors before it was done. Very disappointed. :(

This latch hook was fun, and only took a couple days to complete. I didn't particularly like the design because I thought it was a bit too simple and plain. It would be great for beginners and children though, because it's small and easy to complete.

I had written a report in error before. This company has great customer support, with a wonderful product. My kids love the rug, and it arrived when they promised.

I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas. She wanted one of these so badly and this one looked cute so I bought it. I'll be honest she has not finished it yet but she is well on her way. The part that is troubling is the way the yarn comes. In the box you will receive 4 plastic bound clumps of yarn. The yarn is all mixed together. Notice this kit is mostly browns and yellows. None of the colors are labeled what they are so I think we were supposed to guess. There is supposed to be Dark Gold, Medium Gold, Light Gold, Medium Yellow, Light Yellow, Cream, White, Black and Brown. The difference between dark gold and medium gold is so slight that you have to hold them next to each other against a white paper to tell them apart. It is like that for all the colors. And not all of the same colors are together so you have to sort through HUNDREDS of yarn strands trying to figure out what pile to put them it. It would have been so much easier if they just put the like colors all together and labeled them.

When I did latch hooks as a kid they were simple designs in primary colors. The ones I've done from Caron are much nicer, but they involve so many different shades of yarn that it actually becomes a headache trying to make the picture come out as described. You can't choose the shade of yarn based on the design printed on the mat because the colors on the mat bleed from one square to the next. Your best bet is to follow the pattern which comes with the printed instructions- "five of green, then 3 of white, then one of light yellow"- and even that can get confusing. Also I could do with some more yarn. Overall, I'm happy with how my rugs came out, but the process was more stressful than I had expected.

The lighthouse latchhook is a beacon in my darkest night. When I can't sleep, I rouse myself to hook more rows with my quaking silver rod of a needle. It's soothing rythmatic ins and outs lolls me back to sleep. I awake fresh and ready for another day!

Item came as described and was received quickly.

Not much else can be said. Pretty hard to screw up a latch hook set. Lol

Like the product and went well when doing it. Took up some time which was the reason for getting it.
