[Nfb-krafters-korner] flexi loom

I had sent email regarding Amazone and the Flexi Loom and the fact that  
they charged double for shipping.  
 The original website that Kathy sent has a very limited supply of the  
larger looms.  She told me they will not be having any more of the 31 or 36  
looms made, but will continue manufacturing the mitten looms.  
 
She has no more large looms left, I think that was 41.  
 
I can't tell you enough that I like the feel and the ease on my hands with  
the Flexi Looms.

Joyce,

What are the other flexi looms like? Meaning, how  many pegs to the other
ones have and are they closer together than the KK  pegs in the other sizes?

I have purchased 1 of each of the loom sizes they have  available.  I  like
the thicker handle on the tool for taking the  yarn off.  It is also a  
kinda

rubber that is not hard to the  touch.  More comfortable to grip in my
opinion.

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.
