Unlock a tactile weaving experience with the Friendly Loom kit
The Friendly Loom 7” Traditional Potholder Kit from Harrisville Designs brings a classic craft into your home. Made in the USA and crafted by a long-standing, family-owned company, this complete weaving set helps you create durable potholders with a satisfying, hands-on process. The 7" x 7" metal loom is designed with curved pegs to hold loops securely as you weave, so your patterns stay neat and ready for finishing touches.
Inside the kit you’ll find everything you need to begin and finish six practical potholders. A sturdy metal loom, two hooks (one metal for looping and one plastic for finishing), illustrated instructions, and three bags of traditional-size 100% cotton loops in vibrant colors set you up for a creative session that can be enjoyed by crafters of all ages. The loops come in 34 colors, offering a wide palette for playful designs or coordinated color schemes. If you’re building a color collection, you can also purchase additional loop colors separately or in mixed bundles.
What you get and how it works
- Sturdy loom and comfortable tools: The 7" x 7" metal loom holds loops securely, helping you weave with confidence.
- Colorful, durable loops: 34 rainbow colors of cotton loops provide both softness and strength for long-lasting potholders.
- Complete kit: Includes loom, two hooks, illustrated instructions, and enough loops for six potholders.
- Safe, screen-free activity: A hand-on project that encourages creativity, pattern exploration, and fine motor skill development across ages.
- Made in the USA: Quality craftsmanship rooted in Harrisville Designs’ textile heritage since 1971.

Note: This kit is designed for the traditional-size cotton loops and is not compatible with the larger PotholderPRO loop set. When you’re ready for more loops, purchase the traditional-size options to expand your weaving projects.
Why this kit stands out
Beyond the practical result, the kit invites a tactile, mindful crafting experience. The weave flow, color blending, and patterning possibilities offer a pleasing, repeatable routine that can be enjoyed solo or as a shared family activity. Harrisville Designs emphasizes quality materials and careful construction, making it a dependable choice for beginners and seasoned crafters alike. While outcomes vary by project and practice, many find potholder weaving a satisfying way to express creativity and enjoy a hands-on heritage craft.
