I originally bought this kit just because I wanted the pattern, but the yarn that came with it seems to be high quality and both colors are very nice looking. I haven't started the project yet, but I'm looking forward to it. The one reason that I gave the kit four stars instead of five is that it would have been nice to have the pattern printed on higher quality paper, or at least included in a somewhat rigid envelope so that it wasn't all bent and folded when I got it--I would even be happy with an electronic copy that I could print myself. One final suggestion that I didn't factor into my star rating, is that I would love if the house mottos were included in the design somehow; I realize that it would be hard to squeeze everything in there, but I would love to see more Game of Thrones-themed patterns, especially ones that include house mottos as well as sigils.
