Product Description
With Harrisville Designs Traditional Cotton Loops, you get a pack of loops in assorted colors, custom sized for Harrisville’s 7” x 7” traditional potholder loom (loom sold separately). The bag contains enough cotton loops to weave 2 potholders (6″ x 6″ finished size). These loops are available in 34 beautiful colors. Children can enjoy this quiet-time activity, perfect for rainy days, play dates or car trips. While having fun, they are learning hand-eye coordination, patterning, and refining fine motor skills. Hand weaving, knitting and felting are wonderful intergenerational activities your whole family can share. These loops do not fit the larger-size Harrisville Potholder PRO Loom (sold separately). All Harrisville products are made in the USA. From the Manufacturer Established in 1971, Harrisville is a small, family-owned and operated business. We believe that quality should not be compromised for even the smallest product. Our goal is to preserve and share the textile heritage of our small New Hampshire village, by providing the highest quality materials for easy projects you and your children can make at home.

As kids weave and create textile projects they’re proud to keep or give as gifts, they’ll be learning math and design skills! How crafty, indeed! With this simple, sturdy, authentic hardwood lap loom, your kids can learn basic techniques for weaving tapestries, wall hangings, bags, pillows, place mats, purses, and more. The larger of the Harrisville Designs two lap models, this Size B loom measures 14.5 by 18.5 inches. Like the Size A loom, it’s built with slanted nylon pegs and comes with enough cotton warp string and 100 percent virgin wool yarn to weave one project. Also included are basic weaving tools, including a stick shuttle, a large blunt tapestry needle, and two shed sticks. In addition, a 16-page booklet provides information about the history of weaving, as well as instructions on basic technique. Winner of Learning Magazine‘s Teachers’ Choice Award, this loom is recommended for children ages 7 and older, although preteens will probably need adult help to get started. –Joan DeClaire
