It's great for us to hear that you like our concept, packaging, styles and colours, since it's all part of long design and sourcing process. It's more than just yarn (100% Peruvian wool, Pima cotton and soon Baby Alpaca) and wooden needles. We're also trying to improve our environment credentials all the time. We love knitting and we hope to get more and more people knitting around the world. Not necessarily people knitting our products - you don't need to buy a kit to watch our free video tutorials and get easily started! We basically aim at making it simple for beginners. Don't hesitate to get in touch with us at info@woolandthegang.com, we'll be happy to receive photos of your work to post on the Blog and share your passionate knitting experience! Thank you Lili Hello,

If someone is already experienced, they will know how cheaply you can buy nice yarn, especially online, and they will probably already have some needles they like. The colors they have available look awesome though, I may have to take inspiration there. Last two comments are completely transparent and hilarious...

It comes with patches, many balls of a extremely high and all natural quality wool, wooden needles and unique colors which I have managed to find before in nyc!

The quality of the materials is questionable. Yes you pay $85 for basically the name brand, but if the wool is no better then ones you can get at a craft store then this is pointless. If the package were to come with cute little bobbles, tassels, or unique colors then maybe i could be on board. With all these unanswered questions its a stretch for me.
