Party Pack by Friendly Loom ™ Earthtones PRO® Size Loops Makes 18 Potholders

Cotton potholder loops in warm Earthtones mix are custom made to fit the Friendly Loom ™ Potholder PRO® Loom. Bag makes 18 eight inch square potholders.

Buy in bulk for economical crafting. PRO® size loops are much bigger at ten inches than the loops used years ago. Finished off, the loops make a tight hand woven pot holder, trivet, or bowl warmer a full eight inches square. These cotton loops are a pleasing assortment of Chocolate, Burgundy, Spice, Ochre, Leaf, Willow, and Pine. You'll like that the colors are presorted in the bag.

A special virtue of cotton loops is that they are washable and highly protective from heat, unlike the polyester loops available in craft stores. These tight, thick potholders are perfect for grilling, and must haves for use with cast iron pans.

Hand looming is an easy, relaxing activity for all ages, from age 8 and up. Loops can be arranged in endless patterns or randomized, and yet still look great. Start now working on your gift list--everyone needs pot holders! A satisfying craft that works up quickly and easily.

Tips for Success:

A little Lycra is added to the cotton to give it extra stretch. Some loops will be more tightly woven than others. You can pre stretch them before weaving to loosen them slightly.

The manufacturing process sometimes leaves a little string. If it is long, clip it, if short leave it on until you are finished weaving. These pot holders are so tightly woven that most such tags won't show.

It takes 27 loops per direction. You'll need 54 to complete your design. The loom kit includes patterns, but you can easily design your own. I generally start in the center of the loom and build the pattern out from there. This wide range of colors lets your imagination run free.

As you weave, snug up your rows. You'll want to have about 1/2 inch space all around for finishing.

To finish, gather two loops on your crochet hook. Pull the second loop through the first. Gather another loop, pull the next through the second. After an inch or two of hooking off loops, use your fingers to stretch a hooked loop over one of the empty loom hooks. Yes, this will stretch out, but it is easy when you have finished to pull it back into line. On each side, stretch one of the hooked loops back on the loom frame. This keeps the loops still on the loom in place as you hook the loops off. At the end, pull the last loop to make a hanger.

Washable! After washing, gently pull back to size and dry flat. You'll enjoy many years of use with your pot holders.

Safety first. Whatever pot holder you use, be sure it is dry before using. Water in loops or fabric will quickly turn to steam in your oven, causing burns.
