I hated the cheap loops. In fact I still have my loom. Now I make my own loops. I take old worn out athletic socks. I cut them across the foot the make the loops. Cotton socks work the best. Don't use the top part of the sock where the elastic bands are. Most of my potholders now are shades of white. But if I have a wild hair and have the time, I will dye my loops with Rit dye. Those potholders are works of art. lol Artist are born. Their environment will influence them greatly. It can either enhance their art or put a damper on it. I knew at age 12 that I was going to be an artist. I did not know what kind of art at that time. But the day(1986) I started stained glass my life changed just like yours. Life is funny. Hang in there and keep cutting glass. I made pot holders and even sold some potholders too. I hated the cheap loops. In fact I still have my loom. Now I make my own loops.
