Melissa & Doug Wooden Multi-Craft Weaving Loom: Extra-Large Frame (22.75 x 16.5 inches)

despite readjusting the screws, it didn't stand quite as firmly as I would have liked. But otherwise solid, well finished wood.

Very frustrating!! #1 how to set up weaving section using dowels, #2 jumps to tying weaving yarn to needle and bottom of dowel.

Perfect for my 6 year old son! We use this while homeschooling and not only did he get to learn a new skill, he makes things for family members, and it’s relaxing! Great activity for teaching focus and patience. He likes to work on his creations while listening to classical music some mornings. We like it so much we bought one for my niece who is 9 as well!

Bought this for our daughter for Christmas. The instruction booklet is very poor with giving instructions. It tells you to reference things on pages that are not there. Then when you try to google how to do them (stringing for paper tapestries) there are no instructional videos. So we have this loom and aren't sure how to use it as the booklet lacks instructions.

The instructions for taking the weaving off the loom are pretty incomplete. I just tried to watch their YouTube tutorial for more clarification, one of the most unhelpful video tutorials I've ever watched. I would really only recommend this for someone that has a seasoned waver to help the projects along.

I bought this for my 10 yr old and while she is able to do the look the instructions for the projects are minimal at best. There is no clear idea of how much yarn to use or how to deal with keeping that much yarn untangled. My daughter got very frustrated. And the video they day to go to doesn't exist.

Great weaving tool for all ages. Easy to mod. I am using rulers as pickup sticks and a plastic hair comb for a beater. Looking forward to buying a few more so I can work on multiple at a time but that might be real clown activity

This is a great tool, well made, fun and easy to set up and use!

It came with one side of the loom not properly manufactured, so it doesn’t stand up properly.

My 8 year old daughter received this as a birthday gift. I'm generally pleased with Melissa & Doug toys. The construction of this item seems fine, however the instructions left us disappointed. Not only were the instructions unclear on certain steps and how much yarn to cut, they also directed us to a tutorial video that doesn't seem to exist. I was hoping for a toy that my 8 year old could have managed on her own or with minimal adult help.

Gift for my granddaughter. After she opened she said Now I can Knit!!!

Good for beginners. I recommend looking for instructions elsewhere, as the ones in the box are not complete. Getting a loom comb will also help create a better looking finished yarn project.

Instructions and video were not helpful AT ALL and we never managed to accomplish what was on the pictures! Instructions skipped key important steps, including how to dress the Loom and 'how to manage" the long string of yarn behind the needle. After 2 hours trying to figure out how to use it (by 3 generations of fairly educated people), we could not accomplish what was on the pictures. False and Misleading instructions may create risks of KIDS Loosing interest in weaving and knitting. I am going to check with Customer service to see how they respond

Bought 2 for Christmas gifts and loved it so much that I wanted one for myself! Made a pillow for my bed with it!

My 4 year old twin granddaughter's love theirs. Tabletop size is perfect!

My 6 year old is obsessed with this and has spent hours over the past few days. She made the coaster or “doll” blankie” as she calls it the first few hours we had it out of the box. Today she’s been working on the purse. It’s a sturdy product and the yarn color is really pretty. As other reviewers have said the instructions are vague, but there are plenty of YouTube videos to help. It’s totally worth $21!

I bought this and to tell the truth, I have using it myself. I am in the process of making a shopping bag, it's looking good so far.

" It's really fun and I love making stuff". Quote from my 10 yr old daughter. I do have to help her with some of it as it's a little complicated but she's learning quickly.

Bigger than expected! Easy for children to maneuver! Quality and well made!

The loom is easy to set up and it's pretty easy to figure out how to use it. However, we very quickly discovered one issue not addressed in the instructions. When weaving anything bigger than the coaster it is a challenge to measure out the yarn. She wants to do a placemat and the directions don't indicate how much yarn to use to fill the whole loom. An even bigger challenge to manage the giant pile while weaving. Do you have suggestions for how to easily manage the giant pile and keep from getting tangled while passing the needle back and forth. Given the amount of yarn needed for some of the projects in the instructions, I am guessing the full loom will take nearly 100 yards of yarn. Is there a way to manage that so we don't have a 100 yard pile of yarn that then needs to be hand pulled thru each time?
