Wooden Multi-Craft Weaving Loom (Arts & Crafts, Extra-Large Frame, Frustration-Free Packaging)

Love it. Excellent quality

This is an excellent loom for the cost, whether you're interested in purchasing it for a child or yourself. I've wanted to try weaving for awhile but never wanted to spend a ton on something I didn't know I'd even like or stick with, and I didn't want the hassle of making one by hand, hammering nails and finding an easel and such. This loom is a pretty substantial size, especially for this price. It is easy to use once you get the hang of it, although the directions aren't very helpful, honestly. You're better off going on YouTube and watching beginner weaving tutorials and just applying them to using this loom. The pictures are all black and white and aren't very detailed or clear. Most of the directions are just written out and difficult to translate into what you're doing. For a product that is geared toward children I'm surprised by how poorly the directions are executed. I also recommend getting a curved tapestry needle if you're an adult or teenager, because the large wooden one it comes with is rather bulky and isn't going to cut it for detailed work. It's helpful for some things, but I much prefer using a tapestry needle, or my hands with chunkier yarns or fabrics. You can use any size of yarn, string or fabric with this loom. A previous reviewer said that only a larger worsted yarn can be used, but I disagree. You just have to kind of play around and see what works and make adjustments to how you thread the loom and what you thread it with. I managed to have two strands of the white string the loom comes with in each space, which makes the weave tighter and accommodates a smaller worst. I also recommend using a wide tooth comb to keep your weave tight after you've finished a row. All in all, this a great craft tool and is a ton of fun. I honestly haven't stopped weaving since I got it set up and went to the craft store to get all kinds of yarn ($100 worth lol). As it is now, I'm well on my way to having a brand new wall hanging and I'm looking forward to all the possibilities this loom will help me create in the future. If you want to start learning to weave, this loom is definitely a great option without spending a fortune.

Great sturdy loom for my 9 year old grandson to use. He was able to understand the instructions with just a bit of occasional help. I think he could do a second project by himself easily. Everything was included. He enjoyed it. I had to help put it together. He liked that it made a larger “rug”.

Interessante, ma scomodo da montare e smontare

Big, sturdy loom that was easy to set up and get going with. I bought it partly to try out for myself but also as I have a young daughter who might be ready to try it out in a year or so - that said, it’s not the most exciting activity and requires a lot of patience so we will see. Mostly wanted it to use up scraps of fabric and wool from my other hobbies rather than wasting them. Have quite a few Melissa and Doug bits and they are always good quality, this is no different.
