Listen to the Loon
Listen to the Loon Guidelines
We have our own rating system for our kits that we call “Listen to the Loon”. This visual icon is on each kit's printed materials as well as on each product page on our website. The purpose is to help you determine the difficulty of the project as well as the type of loom needed to weave the kit. This allows you to conveniently assess if this is a project that would be well suited for your needs.
