[Nfb-krafters-korner] Looms

[Tanya Wheatley]

Thank you, Ramona. I do understand that not everyone will greet me and I am 
fine with that.

As for the looms, yes, they are knitting looms. I have the KK looms, both 
round and long. I also have looms from DA Looms, CinDWood Crafts and 
Authentic Knitting Board.

The DA Looms come in many different sizes and gauges. Yes, there are 
different gauges with knitting looms, too. I have three sock knitters in 
fine gauge and a double rake in the fine gauge. I have one hat loom in extra 
small gauge and an afghan in extra small gauge. The thing I like about these 
smaller gauge looms is that you can use one strand of worsted weight yarn on 
them and it does not give you a flimsy fabric.

I have two afghan looms from CinDWood Crafts, a 60 inch double rake and a 48 
inch universal loom. The universal loom can be used to single knit and it 
comes out to measure approximately 96 inches. The looms are regular gauge, 
which is equal to about a size 10 knitting needle in U.S. measurements.

I also have an adjustable sock loom from AKB, Authentic Knitting Board. This 
loom has a side piece called a slider which can be moved to create different 
sized socks. This is a fine gauge loom, too.

If you have any specific questions about any of the looms, please do let me 
know.
