"This was a Christmas gift for my daughter. She made the bookmark within a day and found the loom easy to use and the instructions very helpful. It was her first experience at weaving. The wool is very good quality." — Lyn, verified buyer, 5 stars
 
The Yarn
What makes the rainbow kit the bestseller is the yarn. The hand-dyed merino and nylon yarn is dyed by hand rather than by machine, which produces colour shifts and gradients within a single skein - the kind of multi-toned, vibrant effect that you cannot get from commercially dyed yarn. No two skeins are exactly alike. Combined with the 100% British wool yarn, the result is a finished bookmark with the depth of colour and warmth of quality that makes hand-dyed merino worth choosing.
 
What You Will Make
Using the included yarn, you'll weave two bookmarks on the small wooden loom. The instruction booklet teaches three weaving designs in sequence:
Tabby - the most fundamental weaving structure. The perfect starting point for a first-time weaver.
Twill - a more advanced structure that creates a diagonal rib, adding texture and visual depth.
Houndstooth - the classic two-colour geometric pattern, woven by alternating colours in a specific sequence. Distinctive and satisfying as a first pattern project.
 
The woven bookmark shown in the product photos is an example only - not included. Everything you need to make your own is in the kit.

FAQ's
 
Why is the rainbow kit the bestseller?
The rainbow hand-dyed merino yarn produces colour shifts and gradients within a single skein - each bookmark is slightly different, and the result is more vibrant than a solid-colour kit. Hand-dyed yarn is dyed by hand rather than by machine, giving each skein its own subtle variation.
 
How long does it take to weave a bookmark?
A first-time weaver can typically complete a bookmark within a day. Verified buyer Lyn confirmed her daughter "made the bookmark within a day and found the loom easy to use and the instructions very helpful - it was her first experience at weaving."
 
Is this kit suitable for beginners?
Yes. No experience is needed. The instruction booklet starts from scratch and covers three designs - tabby, twill and houndstooth - in order of complexity.
 
Can I reuse the loom?
Yes - the loom is fully reusable with any DK weight yarn. Additional rainbow yarn spools are available separately.
 
What are the three weaving techniques in the booklet?
Tabby (plain weave - the simplest), twill (creates a diagonal rib), and houndstooth (a two-colour geometric check pattern). The booklet covers all three step by step and more.
