The little wooden loom is “warped-up” and ready for its first project.
It has eight notches per inch- that means that the threads are wound eight per inch onto the loom. If you're weaving with thicker yarn, you can wind the threads at 4 per inch.
The weaving area is 4.5 x 6 inches
The loom is made from sustainable birch plywood - it's laser-cut, then I sand it and give it an oil finish using non-toxic Danish oil, followed up by finishing wax - it feels so good in your hand!
Here's what's inside:
• wood loom- 5 x 7 inches
• one wood dowel
• one wood weaving needle- 6 inches long
• three bodkin needles- 2-7/8 long
• a bag to carry it all in
(Some reviews refer to this loom as an acrylic loom - I used to make it with acrylic, but I decided to stop using plastic.)
And if you need a little direction, check out my book, Little Loom Companion. It has all the basics for a beginning weaver and is small enough to toss in with your loom.
Love it Great shape Love the dowel Love that it came packaged so beautifully and that it was warped Great way to warp by tieing two ends together on the back Not just for beginners So easy to travel with and try out ideas or just to use to mindlessly weave Love it
And really like how
I bought this for my 9 year old grandson, who wanted to progress to something more exciting than finger knitting! This was so much fun for him. He picked it up very quickly, learned several different stitches, and couldn’t put it down until he’d finished (3 hours!). The next day he did another one! I ended up giving him the seconds Annie which I was going to give to his older sisters as an add on craft to the ones they already enjoy. He has already started on a woven blanket for his big brother’s hamster!
I love the little loom and also the Lucy Loom. I am new to weaving and this is the perfect place to start my adventure. Thank you!

Fun packaging and fun loom to play with. I've used with fabric strips of different widths and also yarn. Being a beginner I'm still watching videos to improve. My biggest challenge has been to not pull the warp threads out of shape. Like anything else practice makes perfect!
Such a great little loom. The packaging was beautiful, and the loom works so well for small projects. I can't wait for road trip, so I can cruise along in the passenger seat with a weaving project.
