These are much bigger than expected-- which was a nice surprise-- so many things you can do with all these sizes! The yarn included is good for practice, it's not as thick as the standard yarn you would buy at the store (in the US anyway) but then you might like the option of making lighter weight items too. This is a great value and possibly the only way those of us who are all thumbs can actually "knit" things as it's very easy to manipulate the yarn around the tools. It's a good deal, and a fun way to be creative.
