"If you're torn between this one (the Speedarner) and various cheaper options, save up for this one! It's beautiful, it works flawlessly, and the online tutorials make everything very simple. It's a beautiful and useful object - what is better than that!? There is a huge amount of thought and care put into this tool, from the fine-tuned design down to the quality and aesthetics of the packaging. I'd done a lot of hand darning before getting this and once you've done a couple of test runs it is definitely much quicker and much neater than darning without a loom."
