So relaxing and fun. A way to break screen addiction, for sure! I've woven a number of blanket squares on this thing but can imagine it could be used for many small piece projects. Maybe a rug next!This loom is very simply made and is priced a bit higher than others of similar size, but it's nice and feels pretty well-made. It comes with two needles and a little bit of weaving yarn for getting started. No comb included.

I am a weaver and I did not like this. It is well made, but the pegs are way too large. I bought it for my 10 year old niece, but wove a small piece to try it out before I sent it to her, and was very discouraged. The warp threads are so widely spaced that it looked like loose burlap fabric unless I beat it so hard it was a rug, all loopy and ugly. Just cut a piece of cardboard and make a small loom for your first project, don't waste your money.

This is an excellent starter loom for children or adults! I bought it for myself to make mini art wall hangings, found in such books as "On the Loom" or "DIY Woven Art". The loom is sturdy and easy to use. The quality is much better than similar looms I've seen at this price point. I suggest purchasing a metal weaving needle to replace the included plastic one. You'll also need a shed stick, but any short ruler, house paint stir stick or similar flat/smooth item will do.

My granddaughter saw a demonstration of someone weaving on a large loom at the Florida Heritage Village and she wanted aloom. I went to all the craft stores such as Michaels and Joanne - none had any looms so I went online to Amazon and found this loom which is small enough for a young child. My granddaughter. who is 7 yrs old., loves the loom and she has made a scarf for her doll. However, some of the instructions are hard to follow.

This loom is perfect for what it is designed for which islearning to weave. The wooden frame is durable and easy to manage for my 5 year old. She quickly took to the weaving of the beautiful yarns (included) and has enjoyed the calm activity of it. I had bought a potholder maker for it but that turned out to be too difficult to manage but this is so much easier for her. She was very proud to finish her first piece and display it. A wonderful introduction if you're beginning to expose to the fiber arts.

My son is in kindergarten and always wants to help me knit when he sees me knitting. So I thought weaving would give him a way to get his fingers into some fiber in a way that would be satisfying (not too frustrating or slow-going). His interest has been fleeting so far, but I keep it around for when the mood strikes. He does show an interest from time to time.Meanwhile, I have had a jolly good time with it! I'm enjoying it's mobility, and am currently working on weaving with big chunky lopi yarn (100% wool), then sewing two panels together into a small pouch, then felting it. I think the possibilities are endless with this device.Beware: if you weave too tightly, you will achieve an hourglass-shaped piece at the end, so it's worth youtubing a video on beginning pegloom weaving or something like that to keep the tension even. Likewise, any peg loom with this design but larger than this would be very hard to manage--it's very hard to prevent that hourglass phenomenon if the loom is too big.Also, the yarn that comes with this loom is nice, although the colors may not appeal to everyone (naturally). A good local yarn shop (or an on-line one if need be) could provide lots of inspiration. The loom itself is nice quality, providing a wonderfully aesthetic experience for learning to weave. I must say, I feel proud that this beautiful product was made in the USA.)And one more thing: this might make a nice gift companion for a book called Weaving the Rainbow.
