Loome Party

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

What a fantastic idea on using leftover yarn that is worth every inch spent. Scrap for more. Great!
Looks like a fun tool! I really can use the help with my pom poms.
This looks like an awesome tool to have in my ‘tool belt’
I’m always looking for fun new projects and this one looks fun!
looks interesting and like something I would like to try. Thanks for the giveaway.
Thank you, looks like great, portable entertainment! Small enough for a purse or small project bag, no extra moving parts so also good for handing to a not-so-patiently waiting child. 😉
Tassel & poms are so in right now & I love adding them to projects! Would love to have this tool!
Looks like fun! When my knitting hands are fatigued and need a break, this looks like a good diversion.
Looks like a fun time though I’ve never used any weaving tools. Always good to have more skills in my repertoire!
This would be fun to do with my nieces. I think they would enjoy making part of their new hat.
