For the last couple of years, I have been working on a series of new designs for oh so cute toys and dolls woven on the Potholder loom.
I absolutely love the Potholder Loom. 
It’s a loom that is seriously under appreciated.
Many people were introduced to the potholder loom when they were children.
They began weaving with loops of nylon or cotton that were offcuts from the sock industry.
This has tended to fix the idea in people’s minds that loopers are what potholder looms are all about.
No no no no no no no no!
Luckily, I didn’t have a potholder loom when I was a kid, because I would hate to be stuck with the looper misconception.
Potholder looms are simple, basic square looms that are delightfully portable and offer infinite creative possibilities!
My Weavagarumi Plushie Critters are my latest designs for the Potholder loom, and I am tickled pink with them.
Here are a few of them:

As I have been designing and weaving them, I have been grinning from ear to ear. They simply fill me with delight.
Potholder looms just plain rock! Here’s to simplicity, affordability and portability, as well as unlimited creativity!
Sounds fun Noreen, I don’t think we have such things here (England). Does anyone know?
How adorable! I love them….

Hi Caroline
It’s good to know now that Woolery.com (no affiliations or profit in mentioning their name) does ship them to England.
Please let me know if you find anyone in England who does sell them.
Hmmmm…. I remember there being a company in England that was selling interesting small looms, but I can’t remember their name… ack….
