Potholder weaving is a simple over-under weaving craft made using colorful cotton loops and a loom. It’s relaxing, beginner-friendly, and fun for all ages.

Not at all! Most beginners are surprised how quickly they can make their first potholder. Once you learn the basic weaving pattern, it becomes easy and relaxing.

To get started, you’ll need:

• a metal loom
• cotton loops
• a hook for finishing

Our Model 27 kit includes starter cotton loops. The Model 19 kit includes the metal loom, crochet hook, and beginner instruction booklet with a pattern. You'll need to purchase compatible 7-inch cotton loops separately.

Both of our looms are beginner-friendly, so it really depends on what you’d like to make!

Our Model 19 - 7" Loom is a great place to start if you’re looking for a smaller, classic potholder and a quick, approachable first project.

Our Model 27 – 10" Loom creates larger potholders and gives you more room for detailed patterns and creative possibilities.

For younger children or anyone who prefers a smaller project, we recommend starting with the 7".

If you’re excited about exploring more patterns, colors, and designs, you may want to jump right into the 10".

Loop size needs to match your loom.

Our 7" loops are designed for the Model 19 – 7" Loom, while our 10" loops are designed for the Model 27 – 10" Loom.

The two sizes are not interchangeable, so be sure to choose the loops that match your loom size.

Potholders are woven by stretching cotton loops across a loom and weaving additional loops over and under to create colorful woven designs.
