Pepperell Crafts Metal Potholder Loom & Hook Set – Durable Metal Weaving Loom for Making Traditional Potholders – Includes Metal Hook | Durable Metal Material, Perfect Size for Traditional Potholders

I wanted a metal look kit like the one I had in the 1950s which I would still be using if I could find it. This on is metal and sturdy and perfect. The only warning is that, in my opinion, it is overpriced. However, since I wanted durable metal, I chose it anyway and do not regret it.

Read the 1 star reviews and be aware that when binding the edges, all the loops pop off the pegs on the final side before they can be contained. Very frustrating!! Another review said it helps to bend all the pegs outward, which I plan to do. Otherwise, it’s a sturdy, solid metal loom and less expensive than other brands. But buyer be aware of the peg issue, lower price is a trade-off.

bought as a Christmas project. Some hand mobility/agility is required, which can be a problem for very young or very old. They result in a high quality product that works better than 90% of the hot pads out there. Huge hit with everyone who got the resulting hot pads as a Christmas stocking stuffer.

I was very happy to see that this metal loom was available on Amazon. I had purchased and returned a plastic one from a big crafts chain store because it seemed cheap and the hook was a short plastic crochet hook. This one has a long metal hook, long enough to slide under all of the loops when weaving. The loom is very sturdy and feels good to hold. I used loops from Friendly Loom Lotta Loops and I highly recommend them - great colors, all cotton, and NONE of them were too short. Some people have complained that loops slide off of the loom. I didn't experience this - the prongs on the loom actually flare slightly out. Of course, the last side always pops off when finishing the edges (as they have since I first started making these in the 1950's), so I tried sliding the loops onto a chopstick to hold them in place (see photo - could have used a knitting needle or something similar). Worked like a charm!

I’ve been hunting for metal potholder looms for my grandkids. Most of what I’ve found is plastic, and I fear they would not stand up to the kids. These are very sturdy, and exactly what I wanted. There’s only one problem, and I need to take responsibility for it myself: all of the plastic ones came with loops, and these did not. So I had to order them separately. Thy should come tomorrow.

Love this loom kit. Use it with my goddaughter and we’ve had a lot of fun with it. Quality is good and it’s easy to use. It’s a good size for adults and kids.

This is a great potholder loom—I still have my ‘vintage’ loom from the 1960’s, and this new one is a much better design! Taught a granddaughter how to make potholders recently—we used my old loom and this new one life-by-side, and the prongs on this new one tilt out and keep the loops fastened on much better when the loops are being woven and the edges are being finished!

Saw this and had to have it. Used to make these with my grandmother in the summers. Now I am making them with my kids! Very sturdy and easy to use! Love that it’s not plastic. Great for all ages!

Exactly as described. A sturdy metal loom with a hook. No loops are provided, but at this price point it is hard to beat. Much better than similarly priced looms made of plastic.

Super

Satisfaite de la livraison et bon choix

Le métier à tisser est solide. Je me souviens d’en avoir utilisé un en maternelle, dans les années 80.
