This loom is sturdy. It has markings in the plastic to help guide you as you load the loom for weaving. Easily transportable. Pins are long enough that yarn does not fall off while working. Needle is strong and long enough for the loom.I got one because a friend had one. Now we independently weave and then show each other what we’ve done.

It will last forever. So many patterns found for free online to keep my daughter happy. Perfect size and she make quite a few squares to put together for larger projects. This is the third of this loom I have bought, two were gifts to others. Adults love the quick finish of each square, the amount of different patterns, and the ability to make larger project with these.

This is a nicely made pin loom. It takes a bit of practice to learn to weave with it, but it's not hard. I like how small and portable this loom is.

I wanted to try weaving so I purchased this to start. I love its small size! It’s very easy to learn. The included booklet is slightly confusing but there is plenty of help online.Once you know what you are doing, it’s just easy, fun!

I know how to weave and have had a number of large floor looms so when I saw this small loom I was delighted. I looked around to see what other similar items are being sold and this loom is the best. The loom is pleasant to hold as it has a nice edge and the pegs are rounded at their tips so no issue with pricking fingers. The frame is "plastic" so no splinters and less likely to split as wood might do.The loom is packed with a nice little book of instructions including diagrams of how to warp, weave and finish your weaving.. There is also information about yarn weights and a code to links for additional information about the loom. I don't think you could ask for more. Oh ! Also included are long and short needles for threading your loom and a few extra pegs. Schacht is a great company and has designed a quality item to introduce weaving to all age groups.

Things I like about this loom: * Very relaxing to do once you get the hang of it. * Addicting. You keep thinking "I'll just do one more". I'm close to 50 out of 120 that I need for a large project. * Makes a very beautiful (but small) fabric. Tightly woven with a wonderful feel. * Seems to be very well made although, the included extra pins make me a little nervous. * Makes a square using only about 8 yards of yarn. I'm a crocheter so anything that uses less yarn is a boon.Things I thought could be better: * The instruction booklet. The biggest problem with it is that it IS A BOOKLET. Would have been much better as a single sheet with much larger illustrations. Hard to tell where you're at when you have to keep flipping pages. Also the instructions are written assuming you are not turning the loom. While I understand why they may have had to write them that way, it makes them pretty confusing. * I feel this loom is quite pricey for what it is and should have at least included a weaving / packing comb. I find it quite necessary to use one when weaving. The subject of packing the yarn is not even mentioned in the instructions. Since they didn't include one, I had to go scrounging for an old hair pick. * Can be somewhat hard on the hands. I have arthritis and it's not always easy getting that needle to go where you want it to. I find it helps for me to use a leather thimble on my thumb.Overall, I'm happy with my Zoom. Looking forward to many more squares. I think it was a good choice for me since I haven't woven anything except a few potholders as a kid. It has opened new doors.

I had several vintage Weave-Its in my stash, although I did not learn to use them until a member of my weaving guild recently gave a hands-on presentation. Another guild member brought her Zoom Loom to the presentation. Since I had taken a card-weaving class with John Mullarkey and bought a card loom of his own design, I was vastly amused by the handy yarn-holding slot that also appeared on the Zoom Loom.However, the Zoom Loom has many refinements that make it worth the $15 or so more that you'll pay compared to a vintage Weave-It or even a modern replica--and the handy yarn slot is the least of these, and actually doesn't grip finer yarns (i.e. fingering weight) all that well. The wider frame makes it much more comfortable to hold when weaving, but the loom still fits in a standard plastic sandwich box for easy transport. (The Zoom Loom's "handy carrier" is the lightweight cardboard box (with handle) in which the loom is packaged; mine was squashed in transit because it was shipped in a bubble envelope). There is a slight trough on the inside edge of the frame that makes it easier to weave the last row. Imprinted on the back of the loom is the vital information about how much yarn is needed per square, and how many times one must circle the yarn around the pegs to measure out the last, woven, layer of yarn. The embossed guiding numbers on the front of the loom are large and easy to see. The weaving needle is also the correct size--6 inches, and a little finer than the 5" weaving needle commonly found in craft stores (many vintage looms have lost their original needles, and the standard replacement needle is a little too thick, so the edges of the eye become worn and rough from being forced between the pins).This is a entertaining, portable toy suitable for "craft-y" adults and older children. I'd stick with potholder looms for age 10 and below.
