[Nfb-krafters-korner] January loom e-mail class

Usually the fine and extra fine gauge looms are made for socks and sock  
weight yarn.  I believe the Kiss loom [all the looms except the sock loom  you 
can use from sports weight yarn, dk, worstered weight, # 5 and 6 up to a  
thick rope if you want to.
 
They are designed totally different from the normal looms out there.

A large  gauge is 3/4 inches between each peg.  The 1/2 gauge is a bit
smaller,  and then I believe you can get 3/8 which is a slight bit smaller.
I believe  that you can get fine gauge looms, but I am not sure what the
distance  between pegs are on those looms.
A good estimate is if you can place the  tip of your finger between pegs, 
you
probably have a large gauge  loom.
