My 8-year old daughter and I love Loop of the Loom! As soon as we walk in, our creative sides take over and we are overcome by the beauty of color and texture. My daughter has now woven a poncho, a skirt, a large rug, a scarf, hats, and many things for her American Girl dolls. We are inspired by something new each time we weave, and best of all, Loop of the Loom takes us to a place where we share our best with each other, create together, and enjoy special mother-daughter time together.
My 5 year old daughter goes to the studio on Saturday and for 1 1/2 hours straight is completely immersed in her weaving creation. She can choose from a large amount of colors and textures. She clearly gets inspired from the environment on the bus ride over. Two weeks ago she was clearly influenced by all the holiday lights and decorations, which resulted in a very sparkly scarf/shawl creation.
Saori weaving is wonderful for people of all ages and all abilities. Loop of the Loom did my daughter's 6-year-old birthday party (by bringing 4 looms to my home), and the girls LOVED it. The moms also wanted to try it out and thought it would make a great girls night out.
