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.

In today’s fast-paced, high-tech, super-hyped world, learning an ancient craft may be just the calming influence kids need. With Harrisville Designs’ simple, sturdy, authentic hardwood lap loom, children and teens can learn basic techniques for weaving tapestries, wall hangings, bags, pillows, place mats, purses, and more. Equipped with slanted nylon pegs, this 12-by-16-inch loom comes with enough cotton warp string and wool yarn to weave one 9-by-15-inch project. You also get 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 in 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
