Everything about the Schacht Flip Loom package is wonderful! I had never woven anything in my life and just decided it sounded like fun. I'm so glad I chose the 20" Flip as my first ever loom! The design is simple, the instructions are very easy to follow, and the many accessories that come with the bundle make weaving an absolute pleasure. I live in a tiny apartment and have extremely limited work/storage space, so the ability to fold the Flip Loom was a HUGE selling point. Everything fits easily into the spacious carrying bag which measure approximately 28"x18"x5". The bag can also be extended a full 6" with the simple tug of a zipper, bringing the width to about 34". I also love that the Flip comes with a second heddle kit already installed! I wasn't sure that I would need it as a beginning weaver, but the instructions make the warping process so easy that I was weaving more complex sheds with two heddles in no time. As for the smell that others have commented on, I disagree. The smell is, in fact, strong when you first open the loom, but I find it to be very pleasant. This maple wood loom is hand finished with Danish oil, so just smells like varnished wood (like the smell of the lumber section at a home improvement store mixed with a little oil). I give the Schacht Flip Loom 5 out of 5 stars across the board. If you're a total weaving beginner like I was, this is absolutely the loom for you!
