We are calling these kits "Book Kits" because they correspond to the examples made in "Braiding with Beads." These kits contain no instructions, just the components. You will need to buy a copy of "Braiding with Beads" if you do not own it already.
The color of the string may vary kit by kit. In all cases the string will coordinate beautifully with kit. We have also added a small tube of E6000 glue so that the only tool you need, besides the kumihimo disk and bobbins, is a pair of scissors.
