Designed as a mobile crafting station, this 103-piece kit from Inscraft includes 24 yarn skeins totaling 1650 yards and a 600D Oxford cloth storage bag. The bag provides a structured way to transport projects and keeps the 9 ergonomic hooks and 12 steel hooks protected. The yarn is a light-to-medium acrylic blend, which is appropriate for learning various stitch patterns. Because the skeins are 40g each, they are more substantial than "mini" skeins but still smaller than standard retail sizes, making them ideal for multi-colored designs.
The ergonomic hooks are polished to reduce drag, though users in humid environments may notice the rubber grips feel slightly different over time. Using a small amount of cornstarch can help maintain a comfortable grip if the handles feel tacky. The kit also includes plastic tapestry needles, which are helpful for safely teaching children how to weave in ends. To prevent the yarn from tangling as the skein nears its end, it is helpful to place the yarn in a small bowl or container to keep the ball from collapsing.
For a child-friendly knitting option that includes oversized tools, the Creativity for Kids Pocket Scarf kit is a specialized alternative. You can view a full range of starting sets in the yarn and knitting beginner bundles category.
