Testing a GIANT CRAFT LOOM for Yarn Weaving

Today's SoCraftastic video is another craft kit review! I'm testing a giant multi-craft weaving loom for beginners by Melissa & Doug. A wooden yarn weaving loom can be used to make many projects, including a coaster, scarf, tote bag, pouch, tassels, picture tapestry, and more! It's great for both kids and adults who want to create yarn loom crafts. #SoCraftastic

Hi everyone! Happy Crafty Friday!! Yes, Create This Book did win the poll, BUT something exciting came up there - I'll explain when the video goes up next week!! I hope you enjoy this craft kit testing video instead - it did get 2nd place, so I know a lot of you wanted to see it.
What are your plans this weekend?! I'm having a relaxing evening at home with Craig. We are making a home-cooked dinner, playing with Leo, and having a game night.
Thank you so much for watching!
Hope to see you back next week.

Thank you so much for this video. I've never used a loom before and got this for my 9 year old for Christmas, and the video instructions Melissa & Doug refers to just takes you to the product page - with no video. My daughter had started tying each piece of yarn to each line on the loom until we found your video. Thank you!!

You saved me from making a regrettable purchase. Thank you! My vote is the wood burner. Tfs!

There's probably big loops on the side because you weren't supposed to go around the wooden dowels, you were just supposed to go around the outside strings. And then that wouldve made it square too. Just a thought, not trying to be rude or anything.

Better get your blood pressure checked for all that salt 🤣

My grand girls and I had a blast with this. We took turns weaving when we got tired. I love this loom!

OMG I LITERALLY JUST RECENTLY DISCOVERED LOOM KNITTING BUT WITH THE SMALL ONES AND I AM OBSESSED!!😍 I was so excited when I got this video notification 😂💛

Hey Sarah, just thought I'd comment on this loom and let you know what I think.

As someone who does this kind of weaving from time to time, the problem with this loom is that it is certainly not built for yarn weaving at all. The notches at the bottom are spaced WAY too far apart. Even with a chunky yarn, this wouldn't be ideal. This is why when you tied the ends, they bunched up like a bow shape. This loom would be great for rag rug making though, using 1"-1.5" strips of fabric yarn instead.

Thanks for the honest review. Do the wood burner next!

I’m so glad you tested this because I’ve been thinking about getting one for my classroom!

I had this on my birthday I loved it you are amazing

I don't blame you for being frustrated with this. I cannot see a 6-8 year old sitting long enough to do all that you had to do to make the coaster and I can almost hear the melt down when the project does not turn out as expected. But, I have to say, I do like the fish! I wonder if you could "block" the coaster square, by getting it into a square shape, pinning it, and spraying it with water and letting it dry. We do that in crochet and it works! LOL! I'd love to see the wood burner next! Can you draw with it? It would be cool to see you burn an owl into wood!

We did some looming projects for art class in middle school and high school, and basically you can do it without buying an actual loom. We used cardboard form a cereal box, cut in the spaces at the bottom and top once you had the length you wanted, and then you put your yarn thru those slots and tie it off at the corners. It really reduces the loop problem too, as you're basically making it the size you want ahead of time. You can also do different loop patterns too, like instead of doing the every other one, you can do every other two, and so on. I think having a smaller space for the coaster would have worked a lot better, which isn't your fault.

That giant wooden needle seems super useful if you're ever in a craft competition with vampires.

My grand daughter and I just watched your video and absolutely loved it <3

[avoiding]

Your cat loves to hang out with u!! He's always in videos with u!!! Leo!!

[XoXokiaah]

If u watch Moriah Elizabeth ur cat and her cat could be related they look alike

[nursekrista]

LOVE love love you testing these craft kits!!!! My favorite indulgence

Hey, looks like your warp (vertical) threads that you looked around the frame originally had the yarn stretched too tightly. The weft (horizontal) threads were much looser, hence it ended up distorted. Even tension is key.

Oh, and do the wood burner next! 😊

[Star-twdg]

I would love to try this❣️I want one really bad thanks for sharing💞

[jackieyacky]

Woodburner! Also the love for bows is real! You make bows subconsciously lol. I thought it looked like a bow too when you showed it. I would've believed you if you said you wanted it to be a bow shapped coaster lol.
