I just bought a ProLoom. AND now I'm in love with those wool loops! Thank you

[jaxothy]

Today I found my old loom set from when I was a kid. None of my friends really ever had one, but I loved it as a child. I had sooo many little bands I decided I'd try to make pot holders, but couldn't remmeber how! Thank you for this video :)

I just went to a craft show and bought wool loops. They are stunning! Lovely to work with.

I went over to Carol Leigh’s shop and purchased the pro loom with wool loops. I’m so excited to do this. I made the little ones as a child and my children made them when they were little. I was recently at a local store and they were selling these larger pot holders. I knew I would find info on you tube and I went to your video. Loved it! I subscribed to your channel and I’m looking forward to watching your other videos. Thanks for the great video❤️

Just did two wool potholders after doing 4 cotton ones.love the feel of the wool but it was harder to work with. They don’t stretch as easily and they fray (I did use the tool up until the last four rows where it was too tight to insert the tool). Beautiful, yes, but mine did not stretch like the first few rows on this video.

Barb, I enjoyed your video! I wondered what you were going to do with all the ends of the first weaving project you showed us. I loved all the colors and textures of that weaving.

Bought the loom and wool loops. Excited to make my first potholder. Thanks, Barb.

Thanks so much for all this great information!

The excess plastic on the weaving pins, is known as” Flash”. It can be removed with a craft knife, followed by sandpaper. The finer grit the better. If your concerned about snagging of fibers.

The longer hook tool did come in my loom kit.

[lynnstevens]

I'm wondering if you have ever had an issue with using a cotton roll. I'm having problems with the ends, and I'm finding that the loops are so large, that I cannot pull them tight..Trying everything to get them tight.

This is really funny since there has been such talk of favorite Christmases and the only thing I could remember loving was the little potholder loom. I made potholders until the loops ran out but never got any more. I said they would have been okay if the loom was just a little a bigger....! (I mean this talk was like yesterday.) One thing I do wonder is if the wool is moth resistant. I have a wool hat I knitted that is fine, but other items have been attacked by either moths or carpet beetles in our house (an Aran tea cozy I made is one). At one time you could find the small metal looms around quite reasonably. I saw one here not too long ago. Great find!

How do the wool pot holders wash up? Will they shrink?

There was a tool in the kit I bought from Harrisville, and it went a lot quicker than doing it by hand

I keep finding these looms and the loops for them at Goodwill for $2 or less. I am intrigued by your re-use of this loom.

[susandoyle]

What is better cotton loops or wool loops?

[traceyosterlind]

Brilliant! can't wait for my loom to arrive. ps link to loops needs to be updated.

[denisem]

Hi Thanks Barb, I really like the idea of weaving. :-)

[creationsbychristieb]

Do you know if the wool loops are able to be felted?

I love the potholder that you showed off in this video at 5minutes 17 seconds (colors yellow, green, blue, red)!! I would love to get the pattern. Can you tell me where to find it? Thank you!!
