Schacht calls the Cricket "compact, capable, and cute," and we certainly agree! Its small size makes it convenient to set up just about anywhere. The Cricket is a great beginner loom, but the 15" weaving width also gives you a lot of flexibility to make more than just skinny scarves and belts. You can certainly make those on this loom, of course, but also think about wide scarves, placemats, table runners, narrow shawls, etc.
More good news: weaving doesn't require nearly as much yarn as knitting or crocheting, so it's a great way to use up leftover yarn. It's also fast--you can make a scarf in just a few hours! And if you need help getting started, just book a lesson with us and we'll be happy to assist you.

The 15" Cricket Loom comes in a convenient carrying box and includes thorough instructions and yarn for a first project. Retail price: $174.
Great photo, Stacey! (Please note that I am wearing a sweater I knit from Sheepish-bought yarn a few years back.) Less than 24 hours later I am many inches - maybe even several feet - into the scarf Carrie and I "warped on" my new loom yesterday. The only problem with taking up weaving is that it requires a whole new vocabulary: warp, weft, heddle, sett .... It gives me a new sympathy for people just starting to knit, and having to master knit, purl, stockinette, garter stitch, double-points, circulars, and the many meanings of the word "worsted".
