The looms we want you to buy, do not have adjustable pegs. Those are for more advanced loomers. They are a bit more pricy and we sugjest that you get looming under your belt, before spending money on advanced equipment. I think I mentioned this, last week, also.

Well, I'm not sure what today because with the looms I have the pegs can't be adjusted. I had no idea that I needed specific types of loops. So, now what do I do. No one ever mentioned needing a specific number of pegs on looms and spacing. I am not sure I can even take these looms back to the store because getting there is the problem.
