Making potholders is a great introduction to weaving, and a fun, relaxing and creative activity too. This Potholder DELUXE Loom Kit allows you to create your own unique potholders that you can use in your kitchen! Kits are designed to build many potholders, with sturdy metal looms and metal hooks. The metal loom pegs slant outward to prevent loops from slipping off, which is especially helpful for young kids! The loops included with each kit are 100% cotton, and custom-sized to fit the loom, which is often not the case in less expensive kits. The instructions included offer instructions on starting and finishing potholders, along with design ideas and suggestions for additional projects using the basic potholder. This kit contains enough loops to make 6 potholders.
Weaving is a quiet activity that encourages concentration and helps to understand spatial relationships while working with fine motor control. For children, weaving gives them a sense of accomplishment, and for the elderly, it is a positive experience mentally and physically. Additional loops are available separately in 34 colors and in larger quantities of mixed colors.
