They have 2 looms available on the website, but call them up and ask them
for more info as I did purchase 3 different looms from them before
Christmas. She had told me tshe had a limited supply of the round looms and would
only be carrying the mitten loom once these were gone.
Small Child round loom 31 pegs. I used this loom to make a hat for the 8
year old. The mitten loom has 2 looms 18 peg and 12 peg looms
She also had a limited supply of 36 peg loom. This one I got and it did
seem large enough for an adult size, but I did not use it yet.
As far as pricing I don't have any idea except what is up on the website
and I suggest you call. I have not called or spoke to anyone from the
website since before Christmas, so don't have any advise for you there.
I am a newbie with these loom things and stumbling along, not sure if this
is my cup of tea or not.
I made 1 hat and then picked up my knitting needles and made the other 2
Princesses their hats. I love my knitting, but just wanted something easy
to work with, hoping not to have to concentrate much to do, but learning
curve here is taking concentration.

Hi Theresa,
It was so good to hear you sounding so cheerful and healthy tonight!
Thanks for the tip about your favorite loom.
I found the website and noticed that the looms are quite pricey. But I did
like it that the pegs were all only 1/2 inches apart.
What are they made of, do the pegs come out like the KK loom pegs, or are
they one piece as in the flexi loom.
Here is the link just in case some one else wants to check the looms out. I
learned how to paste in a link in an email on another list. So I'm
practicing my new skill!

I still love the universal loom at Cindy Wood crafts. The pegs are closer
together and you can round knit, or go row by row in whatever stich.
