Why We Love Friendly Loom®

A Brand with Deep Roots in Textile Tradition

Friendly Loom® is part of Harrisville Designs, a company that has been preserving the textile heritage of Harrisville, New Hampshire, for over 200 years. The town itself is a National Historic Landmark, known for its rich history in wool production and weaving. Harrisville Designs continues this tradition by producing high-quality fiber arts supplies that make weaving accessible to all.

When we first considered adding Friendly Loom® products to our shop, we were drawn to their timeless appeal and educational value. These are not just crafting kits—they are tools that connect people to a centuries-old tradition of weaving and fiber arts.

What Makes Friendly Loom® Special?

When we decide to bring a brand into Acorns & Twigs, we look beyond just the products. We seek out brands that share our values of craftsmanship, sustainability, and education. Friendly Loom® stands out for several reasons:

🌿 Commitment to Quality & Sustainability

Every Friendly Loom® product is crafted with high-quality materials designed to last. Their cotton loops are made from 100% cotton, ensuring a soft yet durable finished product. This aligns with our own dedication to offering sustainable, eco-friendly crafting materials.

Many of our customers share heartwarming stories about how they first learned to weave using a Friendly Loom® potholder kit as a child and are now passing that tradition down to their own children and grandchildren. It’s this nostalgic connection to fiber arts that makes Friendly Loom® such a special addition to our shop.
