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
