Released in 1998 for $18, retired in 2012.
Josefina learned to weave blankets on a Navajo loom similar to this one. Your loom arrives with the vertical warp threads already in place so you can get started right away. The kit comes with complete instructions, weaving tools, and enough blue, red, brown, and cream-colored yarn for one doll-sized blanket.

Item# JBAW
$18 (price increase to $28 January, 2012)
"Josefina can perfect her blanket-weaving technique with this set, featuring:
* A Navajo loom with the vertical warp threads already in place
* A kit with complete instructions, weaving tools, and enough blue, red, brown, and cream-colored yarn for girls to make one doll-sized blanket"
This is a great addition to Josefina's collection for me. I just love being able to make her a blanket with her own style loom. I haven't done it yet, but I have the replacement warp already to go for when I do get this one made.
It has a plastic frame that is made to look like real pieces of wood. The clamp, shuttle, and fork are also plastic. The warp is basic string and the heddle and shed rods are wooden. The batten is wooden.
The yarn is real wool and just wonderful. The colors are white, red, blue and brown. It's going to make a great blanket.
There is a 16 page instruction booklet included that is pretty easy to follow. Probably not for a younger girl though. Some technical terms. The loom is 13" x 9".
Grade A.
