Overview
A beginner crochet and knitting kit from Sixlamb with 3 skeins of worsted #4 cotton-nylon yarn in Petal, Blue and Merry Pink, bundled with a 4.0mm hook, stitch markers, safety eyes and a plastic needle.
The cotton-nylon blend is positioned against standard acrylic or wool, which the listing says splits and pills more easily, making stitches harder for a new crocheter to see and follow. Gauge is given for both crochet (4.5mm hook) and knitting (5.0mm needle), so the yarn works either way.
- 3 skeins, 1.76oz/60yds each, worsted #4
- 75% cotton, 25% nylon blend
- Includes 4.0mm hook, markers, safety eyes, needle
- Machine washable
Who it's for
Someone just starting to crochet or knit, especially for amigurumi toys, who wants a complete small kit rather than buying yarn, hook and notions separately. Not meant for a large project like a full blanket, since each skein is only 60 yards.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Complete kit with hook, markers, eyes and needle included
- Blend designed to resist splitting for easier stitch visibility
- Gauge given for both crochet and knitting
- Only 60 yards per skein limits project size
- Only 3 colors included in this set
Performance notes
The blend is machine washable and designed to resist splitting and fraying so stitches stay visible while learning, which is the main practical difference from a typical beginner acrylic yarn.
