I have nothing good to say about these, as the inserts have a nasty tendency to pop out of their slots, or bend, or break, as soon as you get the teeth wrapped. Jiffy-Looms have wood frames and a slot in each side, which holds a toothed fiberboard insert. (Permission granted to offer these files here for your personal use only.)

MAGIC LOOM MANUAL DOWNLOAD (856KB) - Loom manual ©Bucilla Corporation. The patterned weaves can be balanced and symmetrical, something that is often not possible with Weave-It. The pins are raised in relief on the sides of the loom, with two short, one long, making it easy to maintain correct warping and weaving.Īnd the resulting square is a tiny bit larger than it would be on the Weave-It (Not to be confused with Bucilla Magic Looms that are metal, come in a set of three, and are for constructing yarn flowers.) This one is molded ivory plastic and has an adjustable bar insert, like Loomette. Magic Loom® was Bucilla’s contribution to the hand-held loom craze. LOOMETTE KING ILLUSTRATED INSTRUCTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS (1.4MB) If you need to weave a piece that large, just get a rigid heddle loom.) (My experience has been that the very long length of yarn to be needled into the last layer puts too much stress on most yarns.
There were two Loomette products-a standard 4” loom and a 14” x 20” Loomette King, which was promoted as a tool for making placemants, afghans, and so forth. This innovation, along with their pattern support, makes the Loomette loom and publications worth acquiring. Many sizes are possible with the two inserts.
At the same time, they added a nifty improvement: moveable metal bars with pins that allow you to divide the loom in order to weave smaller rectangles. The manufacturer of Weave-It obviously did not take this sitting down-by 1936, Loomette pins were evenly spaced. Loomette™ looms were introduced in 1935 and were almost identical to Weave-It standard looms, including Weave-It's signature pin arrangement. This loom is adjustable from 2" to 12" squares or rectangles and may be used exactly like the standard Weave-It.Īdjustable Giant Size Weave-It™ With Sample Scovill/Hero finished the line in 1972 with an Adjustable Giant Size Weave-It™, which accommodates either worsted weight or rug yarn. Apparently it was never a big hit with Weave-It users. Woven squares have their straight grain on the diagonal, from corner to corner, with bias edges. It’s a 4” wood square with evenly-spaced pins (including corner pins). The Weave-It Bias Loom™ is the rarest version. If someone would like to send a photo, I’ll add it.) (There is at least one other hatbox container that I do not have. The containers shown here are collectible, fragile, and hard to find in good condition. Toward the end of production, they were in blisterpacks.
Most containers were simple cardboard boxes, with some later looms in cardboard with a plastic lid. These came in a sweet little box–called “airplane luggage”. The De Luxe Catalin 4” looms are beautiful and warm to touch, but fragile. The plastic versions of these looms have pins with smooth, rounded tips and that makes a difference to your fingers when weaving hundreds of squares. Weave-It standard 4” and 2” looms in plastic are what I use the most-easy to carry, easy to replace if lost or broken (eBay), and easiest to use. If you're handy, here's a site that will help you make your own loom. Squares made with this loom take no time at all and are quickly assembled. My favorite of all hand-held looms is the 5” Weave-It Rug Loom on which I can weave with bulky handspun yarns, fabric strips, raffia, ribbon, etc. (The 4” was also made in Catalin for a brief time.) The bias loom was made of wood with metal pins. The 4” and 2” were first made in wood and later in plastic. Weave-It Looms™ were available in four main types: 4” square, 2” square, 5” rug loom and the 4” bias loom. The appeal of Weave-It’s patented 3-pin arrangement is that it helps the weaver warp and weave quickly without making errors! The looms were then produced and marketed by several different companies over the next forty years. Simonds, filed his patent for the unique pin arrangement in October, 1934. Weave-It Looms™ were not the first, but they certainly were the most popular of the hand-held looms. Weave-It Looms™, clockwise from top: Bias, Rug, Junior, Standard
