I was a textiles major in college years ago and would spin my own yarn and weave on looms. I was pleasantly surprised by the construction and care given to this loom. It is a perfect tabletop size, and works beautifully. I have recently begun recycling plastic shopping bags by cutting them down and spinning them into “plarn”. This little loom is terrific for my projects! Love it! It was very easy to assemble. It comes with a handy cloth bag to store the pieces when not in use. The price can’t be beat.
