(More customer reviews)Design vs Dollars; dollars wins again. The choice between good design and construction versus costs is a challenge for most people who have their eye on the bottom line. Here too someone decided they should cut corners on the construction in order to keep the cost down. If it's really a choice of a few dollars why not make up the difference in quantity, sell more of them by building in quality. Then this review would have been raving.
The weaver is still cool for most pre-teens and teens, maybe even younger. Just using it gives you an elementary understanding of weaving and you can't help but wonder how large textile manufacturers do it on larger scales. But like I started out saying, they cut one of the most critical corners in any design. A single point failure in the ratchet gear mechanism. It doesn't engage the ratchet completely thus it pops out and doesn't hold the fabric in place. I'm handy so replacing the gear mechanism is not too difficult but something so simple shouldn't be the failure of the entire toy. But it is.

Our Easy Weavers are simple and logical in design, easy to understand and use even for someone who has never woven before. You can produce a surprising variety of woven pieces with ease - scarves, table runners, doll blankets and placemats. Sew the strips together and make pillow covers, blankets, clothing and more! The Easy Weavers are pre-threaded, with the yarn on them, as shown. Just open the box and start weaving! Easy Weaver B is a larger version of the Parents' Choice Award-winning original Easy Weaver. It is built with the same quality and attention to detail. These solidly constructed wooden looms come with the yarn (100% Virgin Wool) on them, so they?re ready-to-weave! Easy Weaver Book of Project Ideas is included. The 8 weaving projects in this sturdy bound book are designed especially for the original Easy Weaver A, but can easily be adapted to our larger Easy Weaver B. It includes patterns for scarves, table runners, coasters, placemats, pillows, a blanket, a poncho and even a hooded jacket.The projects are fun and easy to do with beautiful results. We?ve noted the level of difficulty for each pattern, from easiest to most difficult, so the result will be a practical finished woven piece that your child will be proud of!
