[Nfb-krafters-korner] Looms-Nancy

[Barb Roland]

Nancy, it is my understanding that Knifty Knitter is no longer making their 
looms, but you can find the same types of looms at any craft store like 
Michaels, Hobby Lobby, JoAnns and also Walmart. The round looms generally 
come in a pack of 4, each a different size.
You do need to inpect them when you get them, I bought my daughter one and 
had to return it due to broken pegs.
The looms I have are actually Boye brand of looms and are not the same color 
as the knifty knitters were, but I believe the number of pegs is the same.
Hope that helps,
Barb
