The manageable smaller size encourages young children, to complete simple projects, such as a pouch, small pillow, or “mug rug.” Thick wool yarn is easy for small fingers to manipulate. Warp threads are ¼" apart so children can visually track the over-and-under motion. Instead of a shuttle, children use a blunt needle to carry the yarn.
Kit includes: lap-size hardwood loom (7½" x 10"), 6" plastic needle, starter supply of 100% wool yarn (7 rich colors), cotton warp yarn, step-by-step instructions, and project ideas.
