The Weaving Loom Kit That Comes With Everything, Including the Yarn
Most first-time weavers hit the same wall before they've even threaded a single warp thread: the loom shows up, and then they realize they still need to track down yarn in the right weight, in enough colors to make a project interesting. A weaving loom kit for beginners is supposed to remove that step. Ours does it literally — open the box, and the frame, the comb, the shuttles, and twelve skeins of yarn are already inside.
This page covers our three +12 Yarns kits (Small, Medium, and Large), what's actually in each box, how the bundled price compares to buying a small weaving loom and the yarn separately, and what verified buyers said once theirs arrived. If you want the full walkthrough of how a frame loom works mechanically, that lives on our frame loom guide.
Where this sits price-wise, since we'd rather show our work than just claim "great value": established basic-loom brands like Beka typically sell bare frames for $25–$60, no yarn, no shuttles beyond the minimum. Boutique or artisanal shops such as Oxford Weaving Studio run $120 and up for a comparable frame. Our +12 Yarns kits land in between, at $84.99–$109.99 with the full tool set and twelve yarn colors already included — more complete than a basic frame, less expensive than a premium one.
Every weaving loom kit, broken down by size
The wooden A-frame is joined with removable wood dowels, so you can adjust the weaving height as a piece grows, and the corners close with small gold butterfly screws so the frame folds flat for storage between projects. Here's exactly what ships with each size:
| Tool | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wooden A-frame | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Comb (manual tamping tool) | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Forked shuttles | 2 | 2 | 3 |
| Fine-notched rod | — | — | 1 |
| Yarn (+12 Yarns kits) | 12 skeins | 12 skeins | 12 skeins |
The 12 included colors are the same across all three +12 Yarns sizes: sky blue, black, purple, white, pink, yellow, magenta, orange, red, royal blue, light green, and pine green — enough range to stripe, block-color, or blend a gradient without a second order.

What the included 12-color yarn set is actually worth
We priced this out plainly instead of asserting a savings number and hoping nobody checks it. Here's what each size costs, yarn included:
| Size | Kit price (12-color yarn set included) |
|---|---|
| Small | $84.99 |
| Medium | $94.99 |
| Large | $109.99 |
A basic acrylic or house-brand skein typically retails for $3–$10 at a craft store, depending on fiber and brand — source below. Multiply that by 12 colors and buying the same range separately would run somewhere between $36 and $120, before factoring in the time spent color-matching across a store shelf or several online orders. Since the yarn ships with every kit at no extra charge, that's value built into the price, not an upsell you have to opt into.
What Dana found doing the math: the included yarn works out to well under $1 per color once folded into the kit price, versus $3–$10 per skein buying separately. That comparison uses our own listed prices against the 2026 Knitwear.io retail range, so treat it as a ballpark rather than a guarantee — yarn pricing swings by brand, fiber, and which store happens to be having a sale that week.
A small weaving loom, or something bigger? How to pick
Dimensions come straight from the supplier's own size charts, since that's the only source we trust here:
| Size | Frame dimensions | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 39 × 27cm (15.35 × 10.62in) | Coasters, mug rugs, testing the craft, kids' first projects |
| Medium | 50 × 39cm (19.68 × 15.35in) | Most first wall hangings; our best-selling first loom |
| Large | 60 × 47cm (23.62 × 18.50in) | Wall-anchoring tapestries, wider warps, bigger color blocks |
One data point we can share honestly because it's ours: of the handful of verified-buyer photos we've been able to confirm for this product, two out of three were shot on the Medium size. That's not a scientific sample, but it lines up with Medium being the size we'd point a first-time weaver toward if they only wanted to buy one loom. If you're weaving mostly small, flat pieces (coasters, small samplers, a first test run before committing further), the small weaving loom is the more honest recommendation — it's lighter, cheaper, and just as complete a kit.
Whichever size you pick, the tool set scales with it: Small and Medium both come with a comb and two shuttles, and Large adds the third shuttle and notched rod because there's simply more warp to manage across a 60cm frame. See our how we test page for the criteria we use to judge whether a size is doing its job.

We don't have a large photo gallery for this kit yet — only a few buyers have shared photos so far, and we'd rather say that plainly than fake a bigger gallery. What we do have is real written feedback from the supplier's verified purchases. Here's a mix, good and mixed, not cherry-picked down to five stars only:
"This loom has arrived in good condition. The box wasn't squashed and there was a piece of foam packing inside to keep the shorter pieces of the loom from sliding up and down in the box. The wood is lovely and smooth as you would expect for a loom and the metal fixings are good quality. I recommend this loom to other buyers."

"I loved it so much, even though I still didn't know how to use it properly."
— K., Brazil · Medium
"Excellent, very satisfied, it's fun to work on this."
— Verified buyer, Israel · Large (translated from Hebrew)
"The instructions are missing."

Quotes are real verified-purchase feedback, lightly translated where noted. On the missing-instructions point: every kit ships with a printed quick-start card, and we cover full setup step by step on our frame loom guide. See more feedback on our reviews page.

Weaving loom kit questions
Do I need to buy yarn separately for a weaving loom kit?
Not with our +12 Yarns versions. Every size in that lineup ships with a wooden frame, a comb, shuttles, and 12 skeins of multicolor yarn already in the box. Our base versions (no "+12 Yarns" in the name) include just one gift skein in a random color, so if you already have yarn at home, or want to pick your own, that's the cheaper option.
What size weaving loom is best for beginners?
Medium (50 × 39cm) is our best-selling first loom and the size most represented in the verified buyer photos we could confirm. It's big enough for a real wall hanging but still light enough to weave on a table or your lap. Small (39 × 27cm) is a fair pick too if you mainly want to test the craft on scarves, coasters, or a child's first project.
Is a small weaving loom good enough for a real project, not just practice?
Yes, for the right project. A small weaving loom at 39 × 27cm comfortably weaves coasters, mug rugs, small wall art, and sampler pieces. If your goal is a large tapestry or a piece meant to anchor a wall, size up to Medium or Large so you're not fighting the frame's edges.
What tools come in the kit besides the frame and the yarn?
Small and Medium kits include one comb (for tamping the weft down) and two forked shuttles (for carrying yarn across the warp by hand). Large kits add a third shuttle and a fine-notched rod useful for keeping wider warps evenly spaced. None of our kits include a yarn winder.
Is this the same as a rigid heddle loom kit?
No, and we'd rather tell you that up front than let you find out after checkout. This is a classic frame loom: fixed notched bars and a hand comb, no moving heddle that opens the shed for you. It's simpler and less expensive than a rigid heddle setup, and slower to weave on. We break down the real difference on our frame loom guide.
