I totally agree. We do have a simple "pot holder" loom that came in a craft kit my daughter has. It is a joke. The pegs are set so far apart that trying to use anything short of super bulky yarn just doesn't work. I hate the loops. They are just as Joy described, and I hate them, so do the kids.

Because it is no longer possible to buy halfway decent sock loops. I was delighted to find an old-time potholder loom several years ago, and horribly disappointed in the loops. They were not only made of fibers that you don't want anywhere near a stove, no two were the same length or thickness, and many couldn't be put on the loom at all. I *think* that I managed, with much struggle, to make a warped and mis-shapen . . . something or the other. -- Joy Beeson http://joybeeson.home.comcast.net/ http://roughsewing.home.comcast.net/ http://n3f.home.comcast.net/ -- Writers' Exchange west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A.
