Crochet yarn and hooks recommendation

[INeedNewShoes]

I want to put together a beginner crochet kit for my daughter but I’m clueless about these things. We previously bought wool from Hobbycraft and it’s horrible quality.

Please can anyone recommend a specific brand of yarn that will be easy to work with for a beginner. Also any pointers re buying hooks will be much appreciated.

Wow - So much great advice here. Thanks everyone!

The Attic24 / Wool warehouse recommendation is a really good one. I made my first big blanket using one of those kits.

Curate crochet kit is a monthly subscription and it’s my gift to myself each year. Gorgeous projects with good video tutorials.
