Product Description
Children love to knit! Thousands of years ago people discovered that they could harvest wool from sheep and rub it between their hands to make yarn. This yarn was then often knitted into beautiful and functional creations in a variety of ways. With the Fun Knitting Value Kit, you can enjoy the art and craft of knitting by first making your own thread with the Magic Yarn Twister and then knitting with both the Spool Knitter and with traditional wooden knitting needles. A perfect kit for beginners, this wonderful set includes two colors of 100% wool fleece, a wooden drop spindle and complete instructions for twisting yarn, solid hardwood spool knitter with 100% wool multi-colored yarn, plastic needle for finishing and complete instructions for spool knitting and 2 #13 wooden knitting needles and complete illustrated instructions with yarn to create a 4" by 52" scarf. So much knitting fun in a great boxed set! Made in the USA.

We developed the first of our Friendly Loom Products in the 1980's in response to growing demand from educators and parents wanting to introduce 'hands on' creative activities to 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. We believe that it is essential to help children slow things down and experience their creative ability by introducing the the joys of working with their hands.

As educators and parents, one of our most important challenges is to encourage the development of self-esteem and self-confidence. For a child to be able to say "I made this myself", the pride in achievement is not only felt in that child's mind and heart, it is represented in a tangible form.

We hope that you will find Harrisville Designs Products useful tools for helping children discover the excitement of the creativity that is within them.
