I found a video of bead looming on youtube from Beadaholique and they used this loom. I thought it looked fun and decided to try it myself! The loom is easy enough to use, however, I am unable to compare it to other looms as this is my first. Down the line, I will most likely try out different styles, however, the size of this is nice. It will allow me to make nice sized bracelets with room for working. Set up was very easy as well. I like this loom because it is easy to move around the room. I can have it on my lap and loom, I can set it up on a table. I'm happy with it!
