I purchased this as a tool for my daughter in law to learn how to do tapestry weaving. The size and structure are perfect for learning the different techniques; its portability is excellent. Overall, it works beautifully for my objectives.
It will function quite nicely for anyone wanting to learn standard weaving techniques on a budget. It also would be a good product for making handwoven placemats and other items for use in the home. Harrisville Designs Style B Laploom
I used to make wall hangings as a child with homemade looms. I recently met someone who weaves huge items and after seeing photos of her work my interest in weaving was renewed. I like the simplicity of these looms but do have some comments. Firstly, the frame is wood with plastic pegs. A screw in each corner holds the frame together but mine is a bit loose. I may need to tighten later. Instruction booklet is well written, read all the way through before starting because there are tips later on in the booklet. Parents please note that every other row you must insert a second flat shed stick into the loom. It's not complicated, just takes time so be aware if your child may not have patience to do this.
My only complaint is I ordered the bigger size B loom and in the photo on Amazon it showed yarn in orange, yellow and reds so I bought a refill yarn kit called Sierra because it was black and red and I thought it would be nice to have both but when my loom arrived I see the size B comes with the black and red yarn and the smaller sized A has the oranges. So now I'll have two black and red items :( I don't know where the photo came from but it should be corrected!
The manufacturers website shows the correct colors but I didn't go there until after I got my loom. I would also recommend spending $10 more to get the Wonderloom. It helps push the yarn down evenly.
This loom is a good size for making place mats. - Kids Crafts - Loom'
