Lion Brand Yarn 5002-200 Martha Stewart Crafts DIY Weaver Starter Kit

I bought this product to try it for weaving. It sounded like it was exactly what I was looking for.I have the Martha Stewart knit and weave loom kit (actually I bought three to get all pegs to fit plus a few extra pieces).But I was looking for something that would allow me to weave shapes.This loom more than meets my expectations.I have read most reviews on this product. And one negative review said they don’t know how this loom could get such good reviews. I on the other hand don’t understand how it can get bad reviews.The pegs fit snugly and securely. You have limitless amounts of ideas to weave from a square to circle to basically anything that you mind can dream up.I use a standard wooden weaving shuttle as that is what I prefer and find it very easy and relaxing to weave.Of course setting up the loom takes time and removing the pegs takes time once done but all in all this loom is great.As stated in the title I am a blind person so yes a person with limited sight can use this. I am totally blind and love it.A lot of the complaints was that this is not a frame loom so you can’t see the back of the weaving. Actually this is the very thing I love about this loom. Having it closed as it is it allows me to not loose my shuttle while I am picking up the threads with my fingers to insert the shuttle.I will say one thing. If you want more control over what your weaving this loom may or may not fit your needs. You do have more flexibility with a frame loom. But it depends on the user of the loom how they like that or not.I have had frame looms, small lap looms such as the cricket and I even have worked on a big floor loom.The Martha Stewart DIY weaver is exactly what I personally needed through the years and I wish I would have found it when it first came out. It would have saved me a lot of money.Remember please that weaving you can use anything to hold the warp. The finished piece depends on your pattern of choice. It really doesn’t matter what loom you use. The end result is always the same.Sure a smaller loom you may have to sew the pieces together however I prefer that to bigger looms. So it really is personal preference.

Fue un regalo

Can make small weavings of whatever size and shape you desire. I also bought the extender kit so I could make placemats and larger tapestries for hanging -- works, but I have to leave the loom flat on my desk while weaving, the two pieces come apart very easily. Pegs are a tiny bit closer together than other beginner looms which is a bonus in my opinion. I've had no problem with the pegs falling out with this MS loom.

Pretty

So easy, relaxing and enjoyable. This is such a good tool to be introduced to weaving on.
