[Nfb-krafters-korner] sock looms

[Dixie]

I think for me I am looking at getting the loom that handles the finer
weight yarns.  I am not as likely to attempt knitting at that finer weight,
but would feel more comfortable using the finer weight yarns on the loom.

I had 
trouble getting to the website, but as said use the second web address and  
then you can get to the looms.
 
So this has me interested and I love the idea of the doing a pair of socks  
at one time.  
 
So which one of these are you going to think about purchasing?  I  would 
need to get someone to read me the gauge on the sock yarn I have.  
 
If you read the review at the bottom of the page it sounded like this  
person was going to order another sock loom so she would have both sizes.
So 
do you think you will be interested in getting the extra fine double sock  
loom or the fine sock loom?  There is 120 pegs for the fine and 192 pegs
for 
the extra fine, but then they talk about calculating how many pegs to  use.

I got a little lost with that and would have to see if I could get  more 
info.
 
Eileen, what kind of sock yarn did you get with your sock loom?  There  is 
not much sock yarn out there in thesport weight type.  You have a much  
better choice in sock yarn in the sock weight which is thinner then sport  
weight.  Sock yarn usually has 20% nylon in it for longer wear.
