Arrived only a few days after my order was placed. This little kit provides a fantastic variety of colours and the material seems great for a beginner. The only possible drawback I see is that the needles included may be a bit on the small side.. I'm new to embroidery so I can't say 100%, but the eye does seems small for embroidery thread. Either way still a great find.. maybe consider ordering some extra embroidery-specific needles as well, in case these arent suitable..
