[Nfb-krafters-korner] flexi loom

Hi all,

My flexi loom just arrived this afternoon. it looks like a good quality
loom. It is made completely of hard rubber and the pegs are closer together
than the pegs are on the KK loom.
 The pegs are also taller and have a ridge on the outside like the KK.
Unlike the KK, the pegs cannot be removed either purposely or by mistake.
You could have multiple loops on these pegs without them popping off
inadvertently. The bottom of the loom is not flat, but has places to grip
the loom with one hand if you wish. The hooking tool has a thicker handle
than the Kk loom tool. 

I haven't tried it out yet, but looking at it I would agree with Joyce, that
it would work for a baby hat as well as mittens.
Cathy

So for those of you who are purchasing the mitten loom set from Flexi Loom, 
 that includes an 18 peg loom and a 12 peg loom.  The 18 peg is soo cute 
and  would work for those tiny babies.

If they do not want premies, I  would go with the size, above the blue loom.
I do not know what color it  is.
I would think the blue loom was for premey's or baby's.
Henry, what  do you think.

I don't use looms, so I hope  someone on here will have the answer.
