harder to use -- but they definitely make the best potholders November 20, 2010

Durability: Educational: Fun:
We've been making potholders at home and it seemed like we were always running out of the colors we wanted, so we ordered replacements from several different sources to see what worked best. Although these are not the easiest to use, they by far make the best finished product. This is a great big bag of loops with very vibrant colors. The colors are great -- teal, cobalt, lime green, kelly green, pink, red, reddish-purple, yellow, orange -- enough to make some beautiful combinations. Compared to the other loops we've used, these are very thick and less stretchy. Because they are bulkier, they are a little harder to work with. I haven't found any that don't fit, though. On the flip side, the finished potholder is larger and holds its shape better. I've found that the stretchier brands seem to have a lot of nylon, and it doesn't seem like they'd hold up as well to hot dishes. These loops are kind of scraggly, with loose threads hanging off of them, but when you weave them together the loose threads aren't really a problem.Someone commented that her daughter wasn't able to weave the edges with these because they were less stretchy. My daughter hasn't been able to weave the edges with these either, but she's very, very proud of the finished product as it is larger, more vibrant, and more even in shape than the potholders made with the stretchier loops.If you want something that's really easy to use, you might check for the loops made by klutz or others, as these might not be the best bet. If you want to make cool potholders, though, these are a good choice.UPDATE: I'm back a year later to buy more. Glad that I was able to find the good loops again. And now that my daughter is 8, she no longer has difficulty weaving the edges -- most of the time. Also, these are much easier to weave off the edges when you use the metal loom, rather than the plastic ones.

The Good and the Bad May 21, 2010

Durability: Educational: Fun:
My daughter loves making potholders. We have had other brands of potholder loops and had run out them. One the plus side, there is a huge number of potholder loops in this bag at a good price and the colors are wonderful. On the bad side, the loops in this brand are MUCH tighter and less stretchy than other brands we have used. As a result, it was MUCH harder for my daughter to use. It's pulled so tight it yanks off the loom. My daughter had always been able to do the whole project herself, including the crocheting around the edge. Due to the less elasticity, though, I had to help her do most of the potholder and that sort of defeats the purpose of her feeling good about her accomplishments. Also, many of the loops had threads pulling out of them creating runs. I always buy bargain, but, in the future, I think it will be worth the few extra dollars to get a better quality brand of potholder loops.

Harrisville loops are much heavier than other brands, and more cottony feeling. They don't shrink up a lot when completed and removed from the loom as do the nylon or poly loops... Read more
