These make absolutely the BEST potholders and are fun to use. Highly recommend this (and a loom) for the young person in your life or for yourself if you need new potholders!

Way too expensive for what it is, but they kind of hook you (no pun intended, ugh god sorry) in that they're pretty much the only game in town. You'll end up with 40 blue ones and no other colors so you'll buy another bag and then another.. but what are you gonna do? Cough it up. That said, they make the best potholders"”seriously. I love them and that's what everyone got this year for Christmas because I thought my 3 year old and I could make them together (bahahahaha!!! WRONG.) so I would just sit there at night watching Schitts Creek and bang them out. Somewhat meditative and creative, felt good to be productive.. long story long, I don't know. If you need potholders or want to spend $20 on a pair, then go for it.

We had bought a children's loom weaving kit which came with polyester loops. I learned that cotton loops make for bigger and actually usable potholders. My kids were still interested in doing some weaving, so I bought these as our next loops set. The potholders were about 1/3 the size bigger than the polyester loop potholders - quite a difference. I haven't actually used them under hot pans but other reviews have said it worked fine. The only issue (and I'd actually give this 4 1/2 stars) was the loops do have too many loose threads. My 7 year old found it pretty annoying to have to clip a lot of threads before weaving. Me too. If the maker could tighten the weave of the loops, it would be really a stellar product. They came in a nice variety of colors. I recommend, with scissors close by.

These are the best potholder loops that have ever been on the market.

Remember those bland, dull, boring potholder loops when you were a kid? Hard to stretch across the loom? Lots of washed out pink, yellow, red, and green loops? THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU'LL FIND IN THIS PRODUCT!!

I've purchased several bags of this product as well as the bag that comes with a loom, and several single color bags.
After making over 30 potholders, I've had less than 20 loops that would not stretch across the loom.
Each bag I've purchased (enough for about 55+ potholders) contains more than enough extras to make up the difference.

These loops make beautiful, thick, durable potholders!! All off the bags I've purchased have contained loops that are as vibrant and saturated as those pictured (even better than some of the photos).

NOTE: I'm an adult and purchased these for my own use as a less demanding alternative to knitting or crocheting; AND a more constructive way to keep my hands busy than reaching into a bag of chips! With the assortment of interesting, vivid colors, I've been creating beautiful designs.

Children will love using these loops, especially if they are budding artists and designers, or kids who love pattern recognition games.
If you're a parent, you'll love creating potholders with your kids. Notes that one reviewer says her young child found these loops hard to work with, although I've not seen loops that are easier to work with.

With these wonderful loop colors and quality, my potholders have become legendary. I give them as gifts in sets of 4.

Easy to learn, I used it to make 50 pot holders for a successful fundraiser. My grand kids ages three and five needed a little help.
Elderly people will enjoy it, but not a good project if one has athritis in the hands.
The final products are fun, pretty and useful gifts not just as pot holders but also as trivets.
