Swatch Handheld Loom Kit

Other reviewers are right: the instructions are basic. To be fair to the micro-business maker, however, it also looks like neither reviewer checked out the videos (linked above and on the instructions), which answered many of my questions. Also, being small does not mean that these looms are for beginners (much less for children). They are primarily for weavers, whether to doodle yarn/weave combinations or to memorialize what they have done. So you should probably be somewhat knowledgeable, or at least an adventurous beginner, before jumping in.

I’m a stitcher with no weaving since elementary school potholders, but I am adventurous and have enjoyed experimenting. To memorialize a recent project, I wove the orts together into a swatch, figuring out how to bind the edges using hemstitch (a fave stitch!). I think I can also use the looms to practice needle weaving patterns. A big loom is probably not in my future, but I look forward to more projects on these little ones.

Love the organization of the little box and needle. Just a tad confused on how to warp it. Do you wrap yarn all the way around or just loop it over the pegs at each end. I'm thinking the latter, but the instructions are not clear.

I mistakenly thought a small loom was meant for new weavers, but these definitely are not. The instructions are incomprehensible, there is no little comb to help keep the threads close together, or any guide to what kind of threads to use. As a result, I bought five spools of wool thread that are completely useless to me. Probably these are great if you know what you’re doing, but I will have to get another mini loom to learn before I can use these.
