Loome Party
Vilasinee Bunnag
143 pages
$27.50 Hardcover from Amazon (I recommend you get the hardcover so you also get the Loome Tool)
What a fun book! It gives you lots of options and the tool is so fun to use!
Quite possibly my favorite part is that it’s small. It’s about 6 inches (15 cm).
I have LOTS of tools (and we all have limited space) so this is a very good thing.
If you want to make the projects
This book is for you if you’re interested in making:
- pom poms
- tassels
- friendship bracelets
- small weavings
- cords
All the projects take a small time commitment and you can use scraps and leftover yarn!
Haven’t you ever wanted to use up that scrap of yarn you had leftover from a project? Or you finished a project and it just seemed like it needed a little something?
If you’re not sure where you’d use these, here are a few projects to get your juices flowing:
Put a pom pom on the top of a hat, or decorate a shawl with a few tassels.
You can even switch them out over time, or make some for a RTW (Ready to Wear) item that you purchased. Give it your unique touch 🙂
Even if you don’t want to make the projects
If you love working with yarn, you’ll get a lot out of this book too. A few of my favorites (non-project) sections are:
- Color planning – color combinations and what each color symbolizes
- Choosing fibers – alpaca, wool, cashmere, goat, bamboo, hemp, cotton, acrylic, nylon, polyester and more
- Fiber weights – what each weight is good for and where it really shines

I have the tool and I’m looking forward to learning how to use it! It didn’t come with instructions! I have so many good ideas of what to make with it!
Pompoms and tassels and cords, oh my!
that looks really interesting 🙂
Thanks for the opportunity to win this cool tool…I’m more interested in the weaving possibilities.
Thanks for the giveaway. Knitting hats for charity would really come in handy.
Thanks for the chance to win such an awesome book. I always have such a hard time when I finish a project like a hat or scarf. Most times I leave it naked just because I have such a hard time with pom poms and the like. Oh how wonderful
This would be a very useful tool.
I am always interested in learning about new tools that go with knitting which is my passion.
Interesting tool. Will have to look for it.
An intriguing tool…
