Product Description

Editorial Review

Children will delight in the unique construction of this weaving device. It's a loom you wear while creating belts, sashes, guitar straps, and more. The backstrap loom is attached to a durable nylon strap that wraps around your waist. Your weaving takes shape above your lap, with the other end of your project attached to a stable object such as a table leg or tree trunk. Lightweight and compact, the backstrap loom travels easily in a backpack or suitcase. The kit includes a sturdy wooden clamp, a shuttle beater, turquoise cotton weft string, and 100 percent Pearl cotton weft yarn that's prethreaded into a rigid heddle device for a quick start. It comes with illustrated instructions and enough material to create two projects. This kit is recommended for children ages 9 and older, although preteens will probably need adult help to get started. --Joan DeClaire
