John; The Wonder Weaver is no more or less complicated than any other weaving device. It differs in the fact that it will allow you weave on any axis you wish and do multiple patterns at the same time as long as you have the blank circumference to accommodate them. You are able to weave a design on one axis and initials on the opposite axis if you wish, at the same time. The principle is the same as any another weaving device.

You should do a search, (click on the top of the page) there are 54 different emails concerning weaving and many talk about what the person thought as the best or a great Weaving Loom.

All of these devices do pretty much the same thing and operate in a similar manner. One is really no more complicated than another. The differences between them lie in capability and longevity. And in that regard, the Wonder Weaver has a lot to recommend it.

The Wonder Weaver is one of the simplest tools there is in our hobby. It is not the tool that is complicated but the process of multicolored weaving that is tedious. Anyone can do single layer weaving but there are only a few really good multicolor weavers that I have seen. If multicolor weaving were easy, then the photo section would be full of weaves. Multicolor weaving is a simple process though not easy to do. I really enjoy making patterns and weaving so in the very near future, I will buy the WW. I will retire in September and if God grants me a little more time, I want to spend it working at my hobby.
