From an outsider's perspective like mine, being Canadian, the United States has intense patriotism for colouring. You see it across America with homes and businesses displaying flats, other projects, and finished goods with American colours. These are the America Version of Red Heart Super Saver Crafter Kits.
One thing that appears true for me is when you give a knitter or crocheter yarn and colours they care about, they are likely to succeed as the colours speak to them as they want to see it come through into their hands and out the other side into sometime real and tangible.
These balls are only 50 grams or 1.7 oz. The regular-size balls of these products are usually 7 oz or 198 grams. This allows you to get an entire kit that is already coloured. The main brand of regular-size balls has over 120 colours.
These are typical colours you will find in iconic American colours. These are a great starter kit that either you or someone you appreciate would enjoy having.
