A simple and practical way to learn to weave.
This review is from : Harrisville Designs Style A Laploom
I'm not exactly a kid but I like it anyway . I'm actually a senior citizen and I really like this little loom. It's well-built (very sturdy) and as long as I use yarn I can see it just fine, although my eyes are not the best these days. Tiny thread and needles are a thing of the past for me.
The needle they include is great. Has a great big eye so it's easy to thread, even for me. None of my old ones are quite as good, and I wonder where I could get some more like it because I worry about losing it.
The only thing I would find fault with is that to me it needs something under it to keep my knees from going through it. I'm not sure how others mamage, but I cut the box that it came in down some and it is (of course) a perfect fit. Lifts right up and even out to get to the underside if I need to, and no more knees poking through! So my advice is "Don't throw away the box."
Overall, I think it's a very good hobby for almost anybody.

Harrisville Designs Style A Laploom Reviews
Great loom for my 7 year-old and my entire family! . We love this loom! My daughter is a bright 7 year-old. She sits for 40 minutes or more and weaves various bits of yarn leftover from my projects. The loom teaches focus, concentration, attention to detail and offers short-term gratification because the kids can see their finished product evolving quickly. Love it -- highly recommend this for Christmas for any boy or girl! This would be a good method for getting boys interested in the fiber arts. . . great stimulating brain candy!!!

lap loom . My 8 year old daughter and I love this loom! The instructions are easy to follow. The wool yarn included has such rich colors and wonderful feel to it. I'm going to get another one. Harrisville does it again with superb quality.

Great loom - durable and fun! . We took this on our vacation for our 9-year-old daughter to work on in the car. It kept her busy for quite a while! It's pretty large, but does fit on your child's lap. It's a good value too. I would have paid a little more if it had included a little more yarn. Maybe they could sell an accessory kit with more yarn and patterns. But overall, a good toy.
Fun educational & sturdy . I made gifts of pet portraits with this loom on my lap during TV commercials that now hang on my friends' walls. It's comfortable to use and easy to stash out of the way when not in use. I bought the "Wonder Wand," [...], too, and that makes things go lots faster. Larger projects would of course require something different; but, I don't know that I would consider this a "toy" any longer as you can be as intricate with different materials as your imagination will allow. Fun & easy!
yarn is a little cheap . my daughter loves the loom only problem is the yarn breaks VERY easily...and not all the tools suggested to use are included in kit
Very Pleased with this Loom . This loom is not too big or too small-just the right size for travel or just staying at home and weaving. The tools come with it and make life a lot easier while weaving. Starter yarn colors are available in the package which means you don't have to run out to the craft supply store and buy yarn right away unless you don't like the yarn provided.
The information booklet is handy, only because I already know how to weave-but for beginners I would suggest they add photos of real weavings to enhance the instructions. I am very pleased with this company.

Nicely made loom! . I have experience using table, laptop, and back-strap looms. When it came time to purchase a starter loom for my 10 year old granddaughter, I chose this one and was not disappointed. It is quite sturdy and well made with smooth wooden surfaces. The plastic parts seem well made and well attached. Directions are easy, straight forward, and well illustrated. The included yarn is of a nice quality. This is a well made entry level loom!
Great for honing fine motor skills . My oldest son asked for a loom for Christmas, so I researched them and found this one - MADE in the USA!!! It is well made, has clear instructions and is easy to use (my son knows nothing about using a loom and figured it out pretty quickly). It makes him focus and sit still, which is not always easy for him to do but so far so good. My husband and I have also been picking it up and doing a few rows here and there. It is actually quite relaxing.
The box was empty missing EVERYTHING but the loom . I got this as a gift for my granddaughter for xmas. She was so exited to try it out, and when she oppened the kit, all the accessories were missing. Very disspointing. I was hoping to be able to contact amazon to see they can just send me the missing parts or a replacement. I am ultimately mailing back and empty box. I know that Amazon is very great about their returns but not very easy to get in touch with for this unique situation. I have decided to just return it all together and NOT try for another. Very dissapointed.
