Not so Horror kit
Although this is known as the Horror kit by some lace folks I used the original version of this kit to get started in bobbin lace some 25 odd years ago. I didn't have a lace class nearby to get me started at the time I purchased it but did find books available at the local library. The kit had adequate information to get me started and the lace bobbins are better than the ones I had in mine which I still sometimes use. If you are just trying to find out if you might like to make bobbin lace and no lace group is nearby then this along with one of the beginner books would help you make the decision about the craft. The board or "pillow" provided in the kit upon which you make the lace is totally inadequate in the long run if you really enjoy making lace so if you happen to have a lace group to help you get started give this item the boot and use the money to purchase "real" lace supplies and lace books.

horror kit
This is known throughout the lacemaking community as the "horror kit"! Don't waste your money or time. If you are interested in learning bobbin lace, find a local lace guild (use the internet) and invest in an ethafoam cookie pillow, bobbins and good book like Pamela Nottingham's.

great for beginners or experienced lace maker
The ethafoam pad used to hold the pins and the bobbins and the lace is wonderful and a very creative idea on the part of whoever invented this. I wanted to learn to make bobbin lace and I did using this kit. I went on to buy a wood-filled lace pillow and stands, more bobbins and I'm happily creating lots of bobbin lace.
