I’ve never woven before, and I had been toying with the idea for a long time, and had done a bunch of research on what type of loom to invest in as a beginner. This one came highly recommended to me, and it lives up to the hype - it is well built and the instructions are clear and concise. Disclosure- this was purchased for me as a present, but my mother in law said the ladies at Paradise Fibers where super sweet and courteous and helped her every step of the way.
Assembled myself (84 y.o.). Must be easy! Have done a long practice piece I actually will wear as a scarf. Have just taken material off the loom that looks much more consistent and will make a purse with it, Have an idea for a hanging holder for all of my circular knitting needles and cables. Need another reed so will have to wait a while. Do I Iove it? Yes, easy to use, clear instructions, and speedy delivery too!!!
