Making potholders is a great introduction to weaving, and a fun, relaxing and creative activity too. And the results are very useable, which we love! Both of these kits are designed to last many potholders, with sturdy metal looms and metal weaving 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 includes enough cotton loops to make two 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.
