Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"After I used the string provided to run up and down (warp) I immediately put the yarn aside and started weaving with strips torn from fabric."
"THEY LOVE IT!"
"I highly recommend this loom for ANYONE wanting to get started in this hobby."
"But when I starting to warp my yarn, I found I count wind around the notch twice so when I started to weave it worked out good."
"The wood the loom is made of is really beautiful - nice and smooth and is engraved with the Melissa & Doug logo. You can leave it as is for large projects, the top bar moves down to the middle of the loom for a weaving half the size, and then there are two wooden dowels on the sides that can be moved to make the loom narrower. There is close to a half inch space between each section on the top and bottom of the loom, so you would probably always want to use a thicker yarn."
"First I made a little cover for the back of my recliner, and now I'm making segments for a blanket."
"There's a small but easy learning curve, but youtube has a couple of VERY helpful videos."
"Since we set it up on Christmas its been in action, we decided that we are each going to make our own place-mats and see how different we can get them putting our own spin on them."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Two for my daughter (so that she can join 2 together to make longer looms) and two to give for birthday gifts. The first two we opened looked the same, but on closer inspection you can see that one of the boards was clearer than the other (which was very slightly foggy). The problem was the backing from the one did not fit in to the holes of the other unit so we could never join them properly."
"I do believe that the true product will be a 5 star product, but do be very, very aware that there really are counterfeits out there. There may be an issue with like products, quoted from their response: "The product we sent in is authentic, the problem is Amazon Co-mingles inventory that is fulfilled by Amazon. I have informed Amazon that one of the sellers is sending in counterfeit looms." I can't rate the product appropriately until I get a replacement, but I do appreciate the way the vendor and Amazon are responding to this issue. Updated again on Dec 22, 2013: Received 2nd counterfeit Rainbow Loom from Amazon and immediately returned it."
"Christmas Day, it was extremely frustrating because it is cheap and flimsy, no RED ARROW to following instructions for young children."
"I initally ordered this item from this seller b/c i wanted my daugheter to have the Rainbow Loom for Christmas upon reading the reviews i found this wasn't the "Real Thing" I PROMPTLY contacted the seller to let them know that i wanted to cancel my order and that i didn't wish to receive a FAKE!!!"
Best Weaving Ball Winders
Note: The metal yarn guide arm comes folded against the ball winder for shipping.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I absolutely love this yarn winder."
"The resulting cake is easy to USE when knitting (as opposed to a ball) because the cake stays put when you pull on it. Some may like that because it may make it easier to center-pull the yarn, and leaves plenty of room to insert the label when storing the cake. Initially, I thought the bobbin in the middle wasn't held in tightly, allowing the cake to pop off. Since then I realize that with some effort this middle bobbin does in fact click in securely and WILL NOT POP OFF."
"It's all about making sure your holding that yarn and keeping the tension so you get a nice cake."
"I've also found that you can tighten the tension of the wound ball by lightly holding the yarn with your thumb and index your fingers, before it goes into the metal guide loop. There are other no-name winders here on Amazon for a little less money, but I chose this one, because it is sold and backed by Knit Picks, which is a reliable brand and which will stand behind the product if anything goes wrong."
"This winder clamps on the table instead of just slipping on, which makes it ultra stable... it loads easily and takes no time at all to knock out a cake."
"My 5yo daughter decided to "use" it and got yarn twisted around the bottom of the stem...... 15 minutes later and my husband fixed it...... Also make sure you use it on a sturdy table of some sort, a tv tray is too flimsy and will not give the proper support for this device."
"I’ve done a few skeins that were larger and it makes a lot of noise and popping when it has a larger amount of yarn on it."
"Take it slowly otherwise the yarn will slip and pile up at the top or bottom and you'll have to unwind."

Reviews

"A little tricky to assemble, but got it working."
"Perfect wheel for a beginner!"
"We were a little surprised that not only was it unfinished but unassembled, but it went together easily."
"Fast Delivery."
"I am a male that stands 6'4", so I wanted to sit and try a wheel before I plunked down my hard earned money. I went to The Mannings (a fiber shop that gives many classes), and sat at every wheel that was under $500 (my self imposed limit). It makes plying much easier and I like the slightly slower speed of the Jumbo head."
"The two metal posts on the base of the wheel operate as a built-in lazy kate, so this wheel is an all-in-one package, requiring virtually no additional accessories to get you up and running."

"I bought this as a gift for my niece's birthday, which was in 4 days time. That's a ridiculous 25 days! I had to keep telling my 8-year-old niece that it was on its way, that it'll be there soon, ideally before she turns 9. It got to my niece in Massachusetts on Dec 9, a few days ahead of Dec 13, but that was still over 20 days -- way more than the original ETA, which was already an unacceptable amount of time. This review is topped off by one star, but that's only because the website won't let me choose zero."

Best Crocheting
Whether you're a new crocheter or just want to try new techniques, this must-have resource offers all the know-how you'll ever need.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"What this does instead is show you how to do a ton of stitches whether you know the basics or are just picking up crochet for the first time. What about just wanting to know how to pick the right yarn and hooks? If you're brand new to crochet, the first couple chapters are all about crochet hooks sizes, yarn styles and sizes, gauge of crochet, how to hold the yarn, and the basic beginner steps to crochet such as how to start, chain stitch, slip stitch, tying off. If you already know how and just want to expand your repertoire then there are dozens upon dozens of stitches, tricks, techniques, and styles to increase your knowledge."
"I could remember making it as a young mother but couldn't remember how other than I needed a crochet hook and a VERY large "broomstick" (or in today's world - a large knitting needle). Anyway, the book contains information on types of yarns, hooks, gauge, how to read patterns and charts and other equipment you might need. One last feature of the book is that the front and back covers each have a "bookmark" flap which is very useful when you can finish a project in one sitting."
"I ordered this books so my daughter and I could learn crocheting together."
"Great information."
"Easy to read."
"Gift for son."
"Sooooo glad I got this book!"
