Buy a Loom or Rake

Hi All,


NEW NEWS!!!
I am in the process of getting grooved wooden pegs, I think these may be the best so far!!! Keep tuned for latest news.!!!!! and wish me luck!!! Will know by Monday!!!


Here are the loom makers that I have found to be honest, and very talented.......I hope you will support them.


You can get beautiful Dishcloth rakes from Dux, a talented loomer, and makes a quality product. Beautifully decorated!! Go to eBay under seller ID D U X A L L I N A R O W
Anyone who wants to contact her about looms or dishcloth rakes can do so at duxallinarow@mac.com
or, her really great blog:

I just found this site: The LoomRoom: http://www.loomroom.com/ they have wonderful looms, with beautiful strong wooden pegs!!! The prices are great, and the owners extremely nice. Check em out

Another really good place for looms, and rakes is CinDwood. Quality, at a very good price!!! I love doing business with her. Go To:
http://www.cindwoodcrafts.com/

And Last, but in no way least, Lynn Markman. Again, very good quality, and personal service!!
Go To:
http://lynnmarkmangiftsncards.bizland.com/

These are the loommakers I would recommend. The looms are not pounded out in mass amounts, they have very good prices, and the very best of service, and quick delivery!!

I left out Decor Accents, because of their poor customer satifaction. There are no returns, except for "store credit", long wait to receive orders, and so many have complained about not getting responses from them. This is purely my opinion, and past experience. Others may differ in their opinion.

Getting Ready For Winter!!

No More buying swiffer covers

I use my old worn out dishcloths on my swiffer, they work fantastic!!
Or if you want, here is a link to a great pattern to make your own swiffer cover. It's a knit pattern, but can be done on a loom with no converting. I made one, and it is fantastic!! Save a lot of money!!
