It is important to count your pegs and know the spacing of the pegs.   If 
you purchased your looms in one of your local stores then those are basically 
 for thick yarn.  Cindy Woods Crafts make looms with ordering options of  
spacing of 3/4" and 1/2" 
 
Now if you have a loom that is just an example 8 inches diameter  you  
would have a different amount of pegs if the spacing was  3/4" or 1/2"  .  That 
is why the reference is to the number of pegs plus spacing.
 
If you are just getting started then I just gave you some advanced  
information regarding peg spacing.
 
There are also adjustable looms out there that you can adjust the spacing  
of your Pegs and how many pegs you want to use.

Kathy, I  already had stitch markers and have about 16 of those or so! 
Smiles! Glad you  refer to pegs. I have no idea how many pegs are on which 
looms. I don't have a  40 peg round loom that I know of, but I could be wrong. I 
never counted the  pegs! Smiles! Let's hope I have the basic ones I used!

when we talk about the looms we often refer to them by how many pegs they  
have on them rather than to their measurements. so for example if you have a 
 40 or 41 peg round loom, that is your large adult hat loom, as well as the 
 loom on which you will make shawls. the 36 peg round loom is what you'd 
use to  make a small adult hat. we made large round coasters on this loom as 
well.  your 31 peg round loom is used to make children's hats. the 24 peg 
loom is one  we use frequently, for it is good for scarves, baby hats and 
booties and soap  sacks.  hmm, I can't remember which of these round looms I made 
my  slippers on but that's one more thing you can make.

ask for a  loom with at least 18 pegs. you can use either your long or round 
loom. I  happening to be using a round loom myself.

you say you got some  bulky yarn? also did you get some stitch markers? if 
you didn't get markers,  no worries you can use bread ties a rubber band or a 
washer, or anything that  will wrap around a peg so you can easily identify 
it.

loomer among  us! <grin>
