The kit should be tailored to the kind of crafting that they like to do, such as knitting, crochet, embroidery, sculpture, etc.
• Pattern Books: If your loved one loves to knit, crochet, quilt or embroider, why not get them some pattern books so they can create something really special & unique? Pattern books are the perfect starting point to finding that perfect project.
• Yarn: Yarn is a must-have when it comes to knitting, crochet, and even some kinds of embroidery. Choose a variety of different styles and shades of yarn, that way your gift recipient can create something truly unique!
