30 loops of each color, 7 colors (white, yellow, medium blue, strong pink, purple, orange, bright green) makes 210 loops. Each is stretchy from extremes of about 3-1/2" to 9", which is what they typically call 7" loops (will make a potholder about 7x7 when woven.) Its stretchiness is very good, important for a kid making a potholder who will need a lot of pulling to get things in the riht place. Material used is not listed on the box, so I have no idea if it's cotton, polyester, etc. If I had to guess I'd say cotton/poly. Material is nice, smooth, not "pilling" as some companys' loops are. In short, good quality: you decide cost/value. An idea: my kid made the nicest potholders by using slightly different colors from different companies, i.e. she had 3 different green colors and used them all quite effectively. So maybe e best bet is to buy one of everything!
I had a loom almost exactly like this when I was a kid, and I LOVED it. I spent hours making pot holders for anyone in the family who would take them! When my daughter turned 6, we got her one as well. She loves it as much as I did. While some of it is a little tricky to manipulate, she can do 95% of this on her own. I've only had to help her with the finishing off.
This comes with the loom, the hook, and several different colors of loops. So far ours seems very durable - no broken prongs.
If you have a crafty little one this thing is great. I wouldn't give it to anyone younger than 6 unless you want a lot of adult input on the finished product. This keeps my daughter busy for hours...and the finished product is so cute! if you've got pot holders coming out of your ears, you could use these as large coasters. You could sew them together for a doll blanket. You could even anchor a picture to them and use them as a photo mat.
Highly recommend this for a crafty little one...or an adult who wants some mindless, soothing fun!
Got 3 of these for kids: 2,4,6. Thought my 4yr daughter would love it but it turns out my 6yr old son has been using it a lot more. He really likes that he's making something by himself and picking out the colors. I think it's a little to hard and too long for a 4yr old to concentrate on to finish in one sitting.
My kids love this loom! They have been having fun making cup coasters. This is a great activity to help with dexterity, color-coordination, and basics of knitting/weaving skills. My kids need help with the final steps of taking off the loom and securing them round the edges with the hook.
Note: Eventhough it looks like you make potholders, they are not recommended to be used with heat... so that's a bit strange. We use them as drink coasters and that seems to work nicely.
Wish they came with more loops as you can only make a few before having to order more. My son used them all up in one afternoon.
I purchased three different sets of loops before finding these. Other sets have loops that are frayed or not attractive. These loops are all brightly colored and smooth material that has been cut cleanly. They are easy to work with and make beautiful craft projects. Do not buy other brands and be disappointed. This is definitely what I will purchase again!!

Must be great, I am finding little potholders all over the house. My wife says the eight year old kid loved it and they made tons of stuff with it and had a blast. They had to stop because they were going to run out of material to make stuff with. They are going to Hobby Lobby to get more bands or whatever it is called. The wife says this is highly recommended and tons of fun.
My six year old daughter loves this! It's a fun craft for us to do together. It takes time and requires patience. But it keeps her busy for a while. It also takes me back to my childhood. I loved making things with my loom.
Got these as replacements for my daughter who went through the set that came with her loom. Not much to say, they do exactly as advertised. I wouldn't use the end product as a serious pot-holder as they're somewhat thin, but we keep one hanging on a loop next to the stove and it works for taking lids of pots, etc.
The color selection is fine, what you see is what you get. The elasticity seems perfect, just enough to stretch for the loom, but doesn't pull too much so the final product shape stays where it is.
These hand loom loops are stretchy and such pretty colors. The children have fun planning their colors and patterns. Right now decisions are being made regarding who will be recipients at Christmas. I'm hoping to receive one when secret planning is over.
My twins are 8 and they love these looms. I had one when I was little and was happy to see them again. It keeps them busy for hours and they love to give them away as gifts. This one is a nice quality also.
