Customer Reviews
Project not yet started. Love the yarn and color combinations. Its much better "in the flesh" than in a thumbnail pic.
I was very satisfied with this kit. The Yarn is wonderful to work with, This is a completed picture to add to my previous review.

I chose the color scheme as pictured on the Biscotte site for the pattern. Love the combination but had lots of trouble with the black yarn lace section because I could not see the stitches! That is my own issue... I moved next to a window with lots of light and it was much better. The purchased pattern was shown in a different color scheme so I had to work out which colors were A-B-C for my colors. After that every thing is going well. Not a boring project!
