Harrisville Designs developed the first Friendly Loom™ Products in the 1980s in response to a growing demand for ‘hands-on’ creative activities for children and teenagers. Our products are designed to provide fun, challenging, educational experiences while developing concentration, fine and gross motor control, and a better understanding of spatial relationships and patterning.
Our award-winning Friendly Loom products are designed to be a gateway to the world of crafting. Friendly Loom is for nostalgic folks, parents showing their children the value of making things by hand, and teachers allowing students to develop mobility, design skills, aesthetic taste and coordination. Created by weavers, spinners, and woodworkers, our small family-owned textile business is proud of the quality American-made products we make.
