My wife purchased this book set for my daughter to teach her how lo weave. Since my wife is not a patient person, she thought she needed something besides her skills to teach my daughter. The book did the trick and my wife guided her when she was having some trouble. Thanks to this book she not only learn but also value the art of waving, something young generations have lost complete interest in learn.

This was a Christmas present for my 9 year old daughter. She liked it a lot. The loom is fun to use, and the booklet has detailed instructions. However, the included yarn is a huge mess. Instead of packaging it as easy to use balls of yarn, they put it in twisted skeins. I don't know what the idea is here, but before starting on any weaving project, you have to roll up the yarn into a usable shape. Needless to say, for the inexperienced user this is a mess waiting to happen. I ended up frustrated with an entangled unusable mess of yarn. My advice is skip this step and use store bought "user friendly" yarn. Of course, if you can't use the included yarn which is pretty and colorful, the price does not seem quite justified. Maybe this is easier when you have some experience in textile crafts such as knitting. But because of this needless complication, I am not giving this product a high rating.
