any info on these small looms?

by Rhonda
(Kansas City, KS)




hello all! this is my first time here. i found this forum while doing a search on a loom i have. our creative arts program just received some donations and in that donation were 8 of these small wooden looms. we took the picture of it sitting on an average size office chair. i'm guessing it's about 18" long (i sent the loom home with someone so they could show a friend, and the others are at the studio! so i can't actually measure them.) on the side, it says "Craft Yarns Pawtucket, Rhode Island". There is an area that has some small holes and a cut out portion; not sure if that is because pieces are missing or what. there are a few more containers, so maybe i'll find more pieces as time goes on!

does anybody know anything about these? i tried searching, and i couldn't find anything. i don't even know how old these are, but they are sturdy. they came from a school that was getting rid of (aka throwing stuff away!!!) misc stuff that they don't use anymore. thanks in advance for any info, i greatly appreciate it!

I've got 2-1/2 sets of those round looms! And since I had a loopy potholder thingy too, I bought one for our granddaughter. She loves it!

I really do appreciate your doing that. I keep asking people, but so far not a bit of info on these babies. I'm really hoping it turns into something I can use! Still haven't gone through the other boxes yet to see if there are any more pieces; just haven't had the time!

Mystery loom thing

Hey Rhonda - I sent copy of this to a friend who has worked on all kinds of wooden looms - (hey! mine are round and plastic)

it might be a heddle lap loom. or it might be a coll norwegian loom they made those great edge binding ribbons on - (The last weaving loom I had was the loopy potholder one for lids!)
I will let you know what she says -
Jen
They look cool! There might be some more pieces to that -
