If you’ve ever had a row of loops slip off the pegs while binding off, you know the sinking feeling that follows. We’ve felt it too. After trying binder clips, paper clips, and pulling loops to the corners, nothing quite worked the way we hoped.

That’s why we engineered the Friendly Loom® Tensioning Tool. Designed for weavers, by weavers, it keeps gentle, steady tension on your potholder as you bind off the edges. The result? A smoother bind-off, secure loops, and a clean finish.

We’ve all been there. And we’ve tried the makeshift fixes, too.

So we engineered something better.

Coming soon, made for weavers by weavers. 🌿

How does Elephant compare to Pewter?

While they're both in the same gray color family, they have two very different undertones.

Elephant is warmer and earthier, with soft brown/olive undertones, while Pewter is cooler and deeper, with subtle blue-gray undertones.

Same neutral family, completely different feel.

Meet Elephant. 🐘

Soft, warm, and naturally versatile, this rich gray is inspired by the tones and textures of an elephant. It pairs beautifully with our core loop colors, bringing balance to both bold and neutral designs.

Elephant is a Loop Group exclusive and available for a limited time.

We wanted to take a moment to thank you for being part of our journey.

For decades, you've helped make it possible for us to produce the highest-quality fiber craft kits right here in America. From our original 10" metal potholder loom to our signature quality cotton loops, every Friendly Loom® product reflects our commitment to craftsmanship, quality, and tradition.

Over the years, we've watched more imported products become part of the potholder weaving community. While the market has changed, our commitment never has. We're deeply grateful to everyone who continues to choose quality, support American craftsmanship, and believe in products thoughtfully made right here at home.

From our family to yours, thank you for choosing quality, choosing American-made, and being part of the Friendly Loom family. ❤️🤍💙
