This kit is fairly complicated and a little difficult, but for the most part it is fun, and of course the finished product is beautiful. The reason I gave the project three stars is because I think the 15 dent reed is way too small for the yarn used for the warp. In the instructions two ends were to go through each dent in the reed. They did not have the space to be side by side and instead there was one on top of the other. I had a lot of trouble every time I opened the shed. Every time I opened the shed I had to make sure the right harnesses were up and down and almost every time all four harnesses would be raised and I had to manually push down the ones that were supposed to be down. Once that was done the yarn was still sticking together, so I had to open the shed manually by sticking my hand in and lifting and separating the warp ends all the way from the heddles to where the shuttle would be thrown. In my opinion it was bothersome.

Hi Anne,
Thanks for your feedback! We always appreciate comments on our kits as it helps us provide better instructions. The sett on these hot pads (30 EPI) is tight so that you get good warp coverage for the weft. Repp weave fabrics are often sett tightly as they are intended as warp faced fabrics. With that tight sett, the yarns need some encouragement to slide past each other, and if you are using a light loom like a table loom or baby wolf loom, the harnesses may need some encouragement to stay down, and weaving can be slow. If you use a heavier loom, you will not encounter that issue because the harnesses themselves have enough weight to remain down when not in use. You also won’t see this if you are using a counterbalance or countermarch loom.
