    Much better quality than the cheap ones. All metal loom and tools and quality loops.
    Metal loom with good prongs (they even have a bulbous head helping to hold the loops). Metal tools (not plastic like the competition). Smooth edges that don't catch on loops like the cheaper ones. Loops are of equal length and thickness with a good elasticity (cheap made ones are undependable and many get tossed out). Good selection of colors. The only complaint I had was one of the prongs the paint was coming off (right out of the box, see picture). The resulting edge is rougher and will catch on loops. Came with a cool book of designs you can make in your weave. Resulting potholder does curl some around the edges and I am not sure they will be washable without undoing the corner (maybe sew that last loop on). I have bought a couple of cheap ones through the years and they weren't worth the money saved. This is a much higher quality loom, hook and crochet hook.

    This kit made the cutest gift for our 7 year old niece who loves crafting! It contained high quality brightly colored fabric bands and a sturdy loom. The how-to instructions were easily followed. She was able to handily make several small potholders to give as gifts to others and to keep for herself to use while making cookies. The value for the price was excellent, as it was both affordable and useful. Would definitely purchase again. Makes a fun and versatile gift!

    My 6 year old son and I picked up one of those $2 plastic looms and big cheap bag of loops at a hobby store here so he could make Christmas gifts for friends and family. I quickly became frustrated with the warping loom, the ill-fitting and sometimes mismatched material. If you're just making potholders for potholders, they might be fine, but if you're teaching a child to take pride in something they want to give to someone else, the bulk bags weren't working and the plastic loom was making me lose my mind.

    After doing some research online, I noticed that many different bloggers indicated that they preferred this brand loom and loops. Because I knew metal wouldn't warp during the weaving process and because this loom has gently curved pegs that are designed to help the loops stay on, I decided to try it. I'm very pleased with the purchase.

    The loom itself is heavy and sturdy. The curved pegs do cut down on the loops falling off. It does sometimes still happen, but not nearly as regularly as was happening with the plastic loom. I have found that using a wide elastic rubberband on one side helps to keep the loops on as you weave.

    This kit comes with a fair number of loops (I believe it says enough to make 6 holders, but that depends on your color choices), a sturdy metal... um... tool? weaver? I don't know the name. The thing you pull the loops with. It also comes with a small plastic crochet needle for finishing off the edges. It's not the easiest process, but the crochet tool does make it far easier than trying to use the metal tool, which I was doing with the plastic loom. So the crochet needle is a good inclusion.

    As I have read on some reviews, the loops do have some issues with being frayed. Not a lot of them, but enough that you notice when working. I try to snip the stray pieces off, but I don't know how much unraveling will happen long term. But they are uniform in size and thickness - much preferable to the big bulk bag I bought of a different brand at the hobby store. Most importantly, for me anyway, is the very rich color... They're simply beautiful. I had actually bought 2 bags from the hobby store - one was nylon loops that had great color but were impossible to work with. The other bag was cotton and easier to use, but the colors were dreadful - not uniform, limited choices, not vivid. I honestly feel like it was brown, green, white, blue, yellow, and some of the whites and yellows also had black in them. Visually unappealing. The Harrisville loops are simply beautiful.

    This set and the replacement loops are much more expensive than the store brands, but in my opinion, the quality mostly compensates. I'd give the product 4.5 stars if I could, just because of the much higher price of the loops compared to others and the fraying issue.

    To me, it comes down to purpose. For a child (or adult!) wanting to learn, you might try the cheap brands first and see if you have the patience. You'll also much appreciate the upgrade of these looms and loops once you make the move. For the less central gift receivers in my son's life, we'll use the cheaper loops on this much improved loom. For the really special individuals, we'll use these beautiful loops.

    The best! Love the vintage design, sturdy metal frame and high quality loops. A great gift for kids and adults alike. Over the last few years we have gifted these to each of our children, and now they use them to make gifts for hosts when we are invited to dinners, parties and the like. The gift that keeps on giving.

    The color varieties and palettes selected for each groupings (pastel, bold, earth tones, etc.) are perfectly curated.

    Heirloom quality loom, I expect to see these cherished and put to good use for many years to come.

    Considering saving a few bucks and buying the plastic loom instead?

    In this instance especially, we encourage you to choose quality over quantity.

    Having tried the plastic looms and nylon loops with gusto I can tell you they fell quite flat. They fray while weaving, the plastic hooks are difficult to work with and catch on the material, and in the end the pot holders (and many other things you can create with these wonders, hello YouTube tutorials) Come out much smaller once removed from the loom, don’t quite hold their shape and are flimsy, more of a novelty than much else.

    With this brand you end up getting more bang for your buck, a better product in trade for your time and the tools are designed for use, not just as a (simple and frustrating) toy (like those plastic sets). The metal loom, metal hook and cotton loops guarantee a friendlier user experience and high quality end product.

    *I am not affiliated with amazon or the brand of this loom in any way (all though, holler if you are looking 😉). I am just a mom who has spent years crafting. Years of trial and error, a waste not want not type, who has had to measure the worth of some lack luster products against the time it would take to get “good use” of them.

    We look forward to trying their larger looms, and maybe someday even purchasing their beautifully colored loops in bulk.

    I bought this for my grandson. I had so much fun making a potholder with him, that when I returned home, I ordered a kit for myself. I used to make potholders when I was a child. These loops are different from the ones I used then. Those were nylon or some other synthetic. These are cotton and feel nicer. However the edges fray - not too much of a problem in the finished potholder, but I haven't tried washing them yet. I ordered also an extra bag of loops. The colors of the loops in the extra bag were not as bright as the ones that came with the kit. The same colors were included, like lime green, but the shade was brighter in the original kit. In any case the potholders are fun to make. You can finish one in less than two hours.

    I enjoyed this kit. The loom and hook are made of metal and sturdy. The cotton loops fit perfectly. However I do not think this is a suitable craft for children under ten. Even at that age, adult assistance inserting the last few loops and finishing off would probably be needed. Good value for money if you bear this in mind.
