Call them up as on the website they had only the mitten loom and baby
loom-31 peg loom listed on the website. When I called them, she told me she
had a limited supply of the 36 peg loom left and she did have the 31 peg
looms, but when they were gone she would only be carrying the mitten looms.
I know someone just recently ordered these 2 looms so give her a call.
Maybe if enough folks seek out these looms it might encourage her to keep
having them made.

Hi Joyce and all,
I just began using my flexi loom tonight beginning work on my homework for
the mitten class. I certainly agree with Joyce that the looms with their
flexible pegs are so much more hand and finger friendly than the KK looms.
the tool has a rubber handle making it comfortable to hold and the hook
part
is quite strong. I just went to check on the site to see what was left and
only saw the mitten loom combo and the tool which you can purchase
separately. If I'd tried these before the KK looms I would have been
spoiled and unhappy with the change. Why is it that whenever I find
something good it is discontinued. Its as though I attract disaster. This
happens too often to be coincidence!

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.

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.
