   Expand your Yarn Craft by learning to Weave with a Loom ! (n__n)

   Durability:

   Fun:

   Educational:

   The brand of the weave loom I purchase is different but the contents is exactly the same. Rainbow color yarn balls and the wooden loom. I purchase it bcuz I am always looking to expand my crafting skills and enjoy trying new things. With winter around the corner I wanted to learn different ways of making a scarf for Christmas gifting besides knitting and crochet. So I bought this wooden loom. I must admit it's a bit pricey but sorta worth it. The instructions aren't very detailed but YouTube has loom weaving vids that help make instructions alot more clearer to understand. I had to knock one star off bcuz of that and the fact that the box states 75 yards of yarn but really it's only good for making one scarf. Good thing I have a large stock of yarn and also it's kinda difficult to make a scarf bcuz the length of your woven item is short so the way you make a scarf is to weave up to the top of the loom then sew several pieces together to make it into a scarf length. It's really tedious and this loom is probably best only to make potholders or small pouches but not scarves or anything of that sort. Overall I think it's an okay gift to purchase but keep in mind if the gift receiver doesn't have much patience or unable to sit for long periods this may not be the best gift as it's very time consuming and requires lots of patience sitting on your caboose.
   
   *EDIT : Also forgot to include that the needle is kinda useless. I found it more useful and easier to wrap the yarn around a piece of cardboard and use it as a bobbin or spool to weave through instead of the needle. Also you can use a wooden clothespin too.

   Eh.

   I bought this for my 6 year old daughter for Christmas. She likes crafts and she isn't really old enough for me to teach her crochet or knitting, but this seemed like something similar that she could do. Her grandmother helped her work on it for a little while on Christmas day, then it disappeared into her room never to be seen again. She was able to do it, but apparently it wasn't very entertaining. Oh well.
   
   I gave it as many stars as I did because the loom and the yarn were good quality (for a toy) and the package it comes in can be used as a carrying case (so the peices stay together and don't get scattered to the four winds like most of her toys).

   Scarves, purses and more

   Durability:

   Educational:

   My granddaughter enjoyed working on the loom. She had a little difficulty not pulling the yarn too tight but soon got the hang of it. She was pleased with the little purse she made as her first project. It did not take long to use all of the yarn and purchase more for projects.

   Instructions are ridiculous.

   Durability:

   Fun:

   Educational:

   This product is a basic wooden loom with a few rolls of yarn. My 9 year old daughter and I were excited to make something, but it was our first foray into weaving with yard (so far just potholder loops).
   
   Very disappointing instructions. One page black and white, very few words in 4 languages and pretty much useless. Even on you tube we couldn't find anything to help us.
   
   This company could have spent literally ten minutes and shot a basic you tube video that would have been an immense help. Considering the rest of this product probably cost about $3 to make and sells for $20+, it the least they could do.

   shipping charges too high

   Educational:

   Bought for a Christmas gift, so I'm not sure how to rate on quality or fun value of the item. What I do know, is this seller makes its money off the shipping charges. Almost $11 to ship something weighing 14 oz is too much. I bought a lot of gifts online this year of all sizes and weights. And this was the most expensive shipping and it wasn't the best price for the product either. Hopefully, it's worth it and my daughter likes it.
