I hesitated to buy this due to some negative reviews, but my experience with Clover tools has been very good, so I decided to get the Hana-Ami anyway. This loom combo is excellent. What I like:

1. Six looms that all nest together in one closed container.
2. Each loom fits onto the base individually, and the base has slots and notches to hold yarn tails. No trouble keeping a grip on the small circle and square.
3. Compared to other looms, these have more pegs. More pegs allows more options and fuller motifs when using thinner yarns, raffias, strings, whatever. The pegs are as tall as on other looms I have, so I don't know why others have trouble keeping loops on. The Hana-Ami's pegs are slightly tapered, which helps if you want to transfer loops to adjacent pegs (which you might do while weaving petals, for example, to taper the petal points).
4. This set comes with a centre peg that can be used on the base when making partial circles or squares or hexagons. The woven fan shape, a quarter circle, in the instructions could make dangles for earrings or an interesting pendant on a necklace.
5. Comes with a plastic needle with a curved tip.
6. Detailed instructions inside, and you can always find a lot more ideas for small looms at knitting-and dot com.
7. Includes approximate length of yarn needed for one pass around each loom. You know in advance if that scrap of leftover yarn is long enough to be useful. Actually, just about anything is long enough to be used in a flower centre.

I say ignore the naysayers and give this set a try. I doubt you'll regret it.

Okay I am a knitter and I love this to add quick embellishments to hats and projects with leftover yarn. I had no problems getting the yarn to stay on the pins. I am thrilled with this product and sooooo glad that I bought it. My little three year old has even used it (with my help) to make little flowers to add to her pony tail holders. We love this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best flower loom on the market, February 7, 2011

This review is from: "Hana-Ami" Flower Loom 6 Shape Set, Pink/Blue (Kitchen)

My first flower loom was a kk bloom loom. I like it, but it's limited in what you can do. I wanted to have double pegs for some projects, and I also wanted a square loom. I did a lot of research before purchasing and I believe that the hana-ami is the best loom you can find, both in the current market and in the vintage market. You get six different looms, and you can put the smaller ones with the larger ones in both the circle and square shape to get a double peg loom. The base makes holding the loom and keeping the tails of your working material out of the way of your work much easier. It works well with threads, yarns and ribbons, and I really love that it all snaps together neatly, so I don't have a pile of looms to find a place to store.
The instructions aren't the greatest, but I found a wealth of information on the web, especially at knitting-and dot com.
I haven't had problems with thread/yarn/ribbon slipping off of the pegs. All in all I've found it a pleasure to work with, and with all of the shapes that come with it, the possibilities are endless.
If you want a flower loom, this would be the one to get.
