The kit has fiber; however, I'm using Lizbeth, Size 20, Col. 159 -- the kit comes with white fiber to complete four patterns.  When the colors in the fiber changes it creates a striped look.  Maybe would be better with a solid color after all.

The pastel colors in the spokes and knots are ok -- maybe I should have changed to a solid color for the needle weaving.

Traditional Teneriffe Lace Patterns.

Pattern 2:   Spinning Star

c.2019 Heirloom Arts

Joan Brash kit & instructions.  

Kit includes custom loom, needle, fiber, + four patterns/instructions.  IMO - you need to have on hand:  scissors, tape measure/ruler, scotch tape.   I like to have (nearby) pin cushion, needle threader, stiletto, post-it note, & longer needle.
