Thinking about getting the CZCRAOR Latch Hook Rug Kit? Well, our research points out a few things you might want to consider before diving in.
First off, there's this pretty strong fish-like smell that hits you when you open the box. It's not just a faint whiff, either—some folks have mentioned it can spread around the room. So, if you're sensitive to smells, this might bother you.
Apart from the odor, some quality issues came up. The yarn in the kit tends to fray quite easily, which can make the whole process frustrating. Plus, the color markings on the canvas aren't as clear as they could be, so following the design might get tricky.
And while the yarn feels silky, it's not the easiest to tie into secure knots. All these factors can make completing the rug a bit of a challenge.
Even with these hiccups, the manufacturer suggests that this kit is perfect for both beginners and more experienced crafters. They highlight the printed canvas as a help for following the pattern, which could be nice if you're just starting out and want something straightforward.
So, deciding if it's right for you really depends on what you're looking for. If strong scents or yarn quality are dealbreakers, it might be worth checking out some other options.
But if you're a newbie who can overlook these issues for the sake of an interesting project, it still could be a decent pick.
