20180912_153132_resized-crNo more rumors, it’s here! The new TURTLE Loom™ “fine sett” expands the list of yarns that you can use to weave hexagons. Grab your sock yarn!

Without changes to the weaving method the TURTLE Loom™ “fine sett” is designed for yarn weight 1 – 2, enabling you to create a light fabric with fingering, baby, or sport yarns.

Finally a great way to have fun with a purpose and put precious sock yarn stash to good use!

Watch our launch video which shows you the loom, how it is different from other TURTLE looms, and we sample a few yarns so that you can see how they weave up on the new loom. And of course we show the sachet and the lavender puffs.
