A large set of Steiner triple systems of order \(v,\) \(\mathrm{LSTS}(v),\) is a partition of all triples of a \(v\)-element set into \(v-2\) of \(\mathrm{STS}(v)\)'s. An \(\mathrm{LSTS}(v)\) is known to exist if and only if \(v\equiv 1,3\pmod 6\) and \(v\) \(\neq 7.\) A large set of Kirkman triple systems of order \(v\), a \(\mathrm{LKTS}(v)\), is an \(\mathrm{LSTS}(v)\) whose each \(\mathrm{STS}(v)\) is a \(\mathrm{KTS}(v)\) as well. Although a problem of the existence of \(\mathrm{LKTS}(v)\) has been intensively studied for many years, its solution seems elusive in the near future. In this paper, a \(\mathrm{LKTS}(v)\) has been constructed for two infinite classes of \(v\).
