Janet Channing –
I do like this loom because it is a perfect size for weaving samples & it takes little time to dress it. However, this loom has plastic pawls & ratchets that are only on the right hand side of the loom. This makes it difficult to advance the warp (very hard on the hands…wrists & thumbs) when there is a tight tension on the loom & so trying to keep a tight tension is hard. No doubt, it would not be a problem if weaving something loose like a soft scarf.
