The best! Love the vintage design of the 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.
