In previous posts, you may have read how I always find it hard to buy the right amount of yarn. Sometimes I can’t even find the recommended yarn. You may also have seen that I am a new affiliate for Lion Brand Yarns because I truly love several of their yarn. My favorites are the Vanna’s Choice and Mandala lines. The choice of colors, combinations, and textures have made Lion Brand my go-to for a choice of yarn. This has been the case for the past 10 years (way before my affiliation). I mention this because I find it important to understand my relationship with the company and the Crochet Kits – Bag Edition.
With that being said, since becoming an affiliate, I have discovered an awesome new way to crochet- Crochet Kits (and Knit Kits)! I still don’t know why this isn’t a bigger thing. These kits include all the yarn you need with the matching pattern. It does not include the tools (hooks, yarn needles, etc), but most people have those already. If you don’t, they provide links to the exact ones you will need and I have also linked to more supplies if you need. This is a roundup of Lion Brand’s Crochet Kits – Bag Edition!
