Quick shipping! Though I think the cost of shipping is a bit high for the small item. It cost more than the actual item. If I didn't need the exact replacement so quickly I probably wouldn't have bought it.

There is the same amount of yarn for each colour, so there is not enough black and red, but way too much orange and grey.
So either you have to buy more, or leave it unfinished

Cute design, but the kit does not come with enough of the red embroidery floss that fills the main part of the ladybug's shell. The instructions say to use 2 or 3 strands of floss, and my daughter used 3 strands, but ran out of red floss when the shell was 3/4 completed. The kit contains the same amount of floss for each color, without considering how much of each color is needed to complete the design. Since it was a Christmas present & I was unable to find matching floss in any craft stores, I had to buy another kit just for the matching embroidery floss just so my daughter could complete it.

I bought this thinking it would be a fun little project to focus on and to get my mind off of worries. Then I saw the instructions that the threads should be separated and to use 2 or 3 at a time. I began that process and quickly realized it just turns into huge a tangled mess. This doesn't seem like a product for professionals so why sell it with the threads of each color all wrapped together? Is there a technique to separating the threads? If so, why is that not included in the instructions? I was really excited for something to help me relax and I couldn't even start it.
