I'm a crafty adult and my mom got this kit for a couple years ago at Christmas just for fun. I ever mastered the woven potholder as a kid so I figured what the heck!It's an easy craft when you have some downtime and it always feels good to create something!The loom is incredibly sturdy and stands up to all the tugging.The loops come in beautiful colors and are easy to work with. They seem quite durable and never break. I the included hook works fine. One side for weaving and one for chrocheting. Some bloggers like a wooden hook. The pot holders I've made hold up to every day wear and tear and wash up nicely.Actually I think these pot holders are better than my over mitts! Easier to grab stuff with.This kit would be a great gift for anyone crafty. Adults or kids. It doesn't require a lot of space so good for someone who might be sick and have some downtime....
