About Us...
CinDWood Crafts has been officially in business for the past 2 years, but the name I have been wanting to use somehow for close to 20 years. It is a small home business in West Jordan, Utah. My entry into the knitting loom business began 3 years ago when I saw my first loom made by someone in Arizona. I thought it would be a great 4-H project for my girls. They could make a loom and then make a hat on it and enter two projects in the fair. We did it and two of my girls won blue ribbons and went to the state fair. There was a lot of interest in the looms so I decided to see if I could make my own version of the loom and see if it might sell.
All the wooden looms I had seen were of plywood, but I hate splinters and sanding and varnishing. We found a better type of wood that would be smooth and solid and comfortable to hold. The old wooden pegs were also a problem. They would snag the yarn, and snap in half sometimes if dropped. We decided to invest in a special mold that would make our grooved pegs out of strong nylon. We started using our new and improved pegs and Wow!
There have been days when I wonder why I am trying to sell these looms, but then I get a phone call or a letter from someone telling me how they were feeling hopeless, and homebound, but since finding and using my looms, they now make items for the Humanitarian Aid program, or local shelters, and they feel useful again. The use of these looms to make items for family and charity is what continues to drive to expand and get more people involved in using them. My family assembles every loom, and we don't send out to China for them. They are made with love and hope that others will find joy in their use of them.
