Overall, I am impressed by the quality of this kit. The kit includes enough yarn to finish two Winnie the Pooh projects, specifically one each of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet and after that, you will need to purchase additional yarn, fiberfill, floss, and felt to finish more characters. The kit does not say exactly what size the yarn is but it seems to be at 4 worsted weight and it appears to be acrylic and/or wool rather than cotton. The colors of yarn included are: light gold (yellow), black, dark red, light pink, medium pink, and dark pink. The red in the kit seems much darker than that shown in the photo on the front of the box while the light gold (yellow) is much more drab than the modern Winnie the Pooh. It looks like a great color if you were crocheting a Classic Winnie the Pooh. The felt included is black. The floss is black and appears to be cotton. Also included is a tapestry needle (for the floss), an inexpensive crochet hook in size 4.00 (US G/6) and fiberfill. There are also fairly detailed instructions including many diagrams.
