ALEX Toys Craft Cool Spool Knitting Kit

Fun to use and easy to use tool for spool knitting.

The product is great, but the instructions could have been a little clearer. I received it before the expected delivery date which was very nice. All in all, a great experience

This is a cute little set. The instructions were hard to interpret, but I was able to figure it out. Great value for what you receive.

Purchased this for my 6-yr old who learned to knit recently, thinking it would be an easy, fun craft toy based on previous reviews. The instructions were for the most part easy to follow, but it did take me a good while to figure out how to "spool" knit properly. They also have a section about "tubing", but I need more time to figure out how to do that. Those instructions were confusing IMO. Overall, would recommend for children ages 8 and older since it does require some dexterity and adult help for younger kids. My daughter is 6, and I had to hold on to the spool while she used the plastic needle to pull the stitch off the spokes. Not what I expected for a toy marketed for ages 6+ but still a good craft toy IMO for the older ones.

This is a wonderful activity for young boys and girls. My wife and I did this when were young and we have already taught them how to do it without the kit. They were thrilled when they opened their packages and forgot about everything else. They were really into it and the wool was fantastic. Great value.

All inclusive kit. Pretty colors and appealing projects for little girls. Large spool knitter makes it easier to manipulate yarn. Recommend using crochet hook vs plastic needle provided in kit.

This is difficult to use for 3 reasons:1. The barrel is too long - we had to use a crochet hook to pull the yarn down through the center.2. The u-shaped wire 'hooks' are straight. They need to have a bit of a bend at the top (like other ones do) so the yarn doesn't come off of other hooks while you're moving the one next to it.3. The little plastic stick thing they give you is cheap and it pointed at the end and more like a needle or knife than something to manipulate yarn with. It simply does not do what you need to do with it.I was hoping this might be something a little easier for my granddaughter to manipulate than crocheting, but it isn't.The second star is for the yarn, buttons and other extra goodies that comes with the kit. These are cute and of pretty good quality.

Took few minutes to figure out how to do, but after easy. Making a rug. Have I tried with ease yet. I saw patterns on Pinterest so had to try, this has what I need to try it out. Thanks

A bit disappointed with this. The hook is plastic and meeses up the wool when working with it. Everything else is great. Better to use a crochet hook with it.

Exactly what I wanted and great turnaround time!

My Foster Daughter loved this product, she is so happy with it, and has been busy making stuff with it since she got it, it is easy to use and FUN!

I love the spool knitting but this is not for children under 8 years of age in my opinion. Too many steps and my 5 year grandchild found it difficult. She is very good and arts and crafts but found this challenging and lost interest quickly. Great gift for older children.

Fun and age appropriate.
