READAEER Round Knitting Looms Set Craft Kit Tool with Hook Needle and Pompom Maker

Readaeer Round Knitting Loom Set:) I am very pleased with the 4 knitting hoops; the 4 "clover type" pom-pom makers; the needle and the hook that came in the nice see thru plastic carry case with a one page hoop knitting instruction. I especially like that all the pegs were glued in place for added strength. It has been many years since I seen such great quality!.I wrapped sports wrap around hook handle for my arthritic hand comfort and now it is custom fit for me and hours later with no pain. I have been having great fun with instant pleasure at all the projects I am doing!There are a few basics to remember: #1 You can always take the yarn off the pegs, unwrap the project yarn and start over if it does not look right!#2 Relax! Go slow and wrap the pegs slowly and loosely till you get the hang of how the yarn works on the pegs. #3 Smile! Your imagination is your only limit! Make hats; socks; slippers; scarves; blankets; lap covers; aprons; ear wraps; mittens; gloves; sweaters; toys....????Try watching You Tube Videos on Loom Knitting and Pom-Pom making.These Pom-Pom makers are considered "clover type", which are very easy to use. I looked it up on you tube...start with one by looking it over, put it on table in front of you with long white area positioned at 12 and 6 on a clock. (It looks like an alien star ship.) Under those ends are hinges and next to the hinges are 2 tabs by the top and 2 tabs by the bottom. Slowly pull outward. You will see that there is a metal pin holding the 2 halves together. Look at the colored half moons next to each other, you will be wrapping yarn around each double half moon starting under and over the top (going round and round filling in the culvert opening without going past the flat edges, stop, cut yarn, repeat on other double half) Now squeeze both sides together to look like a circle again. Take a scissor following between both halves top edges and cut (carefully set aside). Cut 12" piece of yarn (or ? size) and wrap between both sides (or ships). Pull and tie off by wrapping a couple of times and a couple of knots. Gently pull apart from the center. Voila! You have a great pom-pom to add to your knitting projects.Also, visit your local library for books on loom knitting, they have LOTS!

I am an intermediate knitter and crocheter for over a decade. I tend to start projects but a third of time never finish them because of time consumption. I received the loom set on Thursday and was able to complete two hats by Saturday. The first hat took about 4hrs including learning the loom and breaks, the second 3 hrs. The green hat I made on the green loom and the pink hat I made on the light pink loom.Overall this was a great purchase and is excellent for beginners. The set had no plastic bits sticking off and was well made and sturdy. It comes with four looms, four very easy to use Pom Pom makers, loom hook and plastic needle, and a clear carrying bag.-The largest loom has 41 pegs- great for big heads/hair, slouchy hats, scarves and shawls.-The second largest 36 pegs- 3year olds and adults with average to small heads.-The green loom has 31 pegs - 4 month old babies- small toddlers-The smallest loom has 24 pegs- premature babies or newborns, drink cozies, socks, legwarmers and small projects.The instructions that comes with the kit leave much to be desired so check YouTube for tutorials.

I love these looks. I had never used a clover pom pom maker but found videos online that walked me through. Each loom plastic is one piece, which is always what I look for when seaching for a quality loom as when the pegs are separate pieces eventually they will pop out. These seem to be fully attached, I feel fairly confident they will not break off. Very durable, effective, and great quality!

I've been knitting and crocheting for more than 45 years, but never tried loom knitting before. I find I like this technique for a quick knit-in-the-round project. I could make a similar style of little baby hat with double points or two circular needles, but this is definitely faster. You have to use bulkier yarn or multiple strands, so the hat is thick and warm, more suitable for Alaska than Texas, where my new grandbaby will be. It will be great for a teddy bear later. I down rated slightly because the 7 and 11 inch rings have odd numbers of pegs, 31 and 41 respectively. You need an even number or a number divided by 3 for ribbing. I probably could do ribbing much faster on normal needles anyway, so that wouldn't be a problem for me, but the listing should make that information clear. Also, the handle broke on my second hat. I'm not that strong. As you can see in the picture, the metal part of the hook doesn't go down far enough into the handle. The handle is a hard plastic and was very uncomfortable to use, so I would try a different one in any case. Similar sets are much more expensive in local stores. I feel I got my money's worth on these. The design of the pegs is easy to work with. There were no instructions for the pompom makers, but I found a youtube video. They're quick and fun to use.
