[Nfb-krafters-korner] loom search for upcoming class

Mon Jul 27 20:09:04 UTC 2015

Henry and I were at Michaels, this week end and saw a wall with over 20 of the Boya loom sets.  I sure was surprised!  I could not find the sale price.
We did find 1 ball of that cotton, Barb told us, about, last week.  The lady helping us, said it was clearance.  I had never heard of the brand, so I kind of think it was just on sale.  We shall see if it reappears.  It sure is soft!

Hetti,

The looms are basically different brands. The Knifty Knitter looms were a good quality loom that unfortunately is not being produced anymore. It is possible to find them online from Amazon and other places. Many folks love these looms and grab them up when they can find them. 
The Boya looms are a brand of a store called Michael's here in the states.
These looms can also be purchased from Amazon and other places online and are still being produced. There is some difference of opinion as to which looms are better. for example one complaint about the Boya looms is the fact that Boya looms have been found to have broken pegs on them. But either loom will serve the purpose.
