Review on πŸ–ŒοΈ Boye Loom Pen Yarn Craft Tool, Yellow - 3702005001 by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Yarn sometimes gets stuck

No matter the weight of yarn, from medium weight to standard worsted, it will snag on the wide end and wear out the yarn. The loom's handle consisted of two pieces of metal: a tension wire and a needle threader that slid into the handle and locked into a small hole. Using a handle with pieces of metal wire attached to it, every yarn I used snagged and frayed. After removing the pieces, the yarn still doesn't flow well. If you look closely, there is a notch at the wide end. I assume it's a yarn guide, but that also catches the yarn! POOH! Using a very thick yarn like Bernat Blanket or Bernat Wool Baby Blanket will not work well with a small tip. This medium weight yarn makes it easy.

Pros
