[Nfb-krafters-korner] mitten loom class, more info for you

[Cathy]

hi all,

 

I spoke with Cindy from cindywood looms today and here is what you need to do.

 

When you order a loom online at cindywood it will have a name and say whether it is ½-inch gauge or
¾-inch gauge. It will not give you the number of pegs on the loom until you click on the link for
that loom to see the details. . There is a loom called the round child slipper loom that is ½-inch
gauge and has 25 pegs, and this is the one you want to order. however, when you order this loom
there is a place where you  can make a note to Cindy and you want to let her know that you would
like the 27-peg ½ inch gauge loom as a substitute. These were looms that were custom made for
someone else and should be a good size for our adult mittens. She has a good number of these looms
in stock right now. Once she runs out, you can still order the child slipper loom with 25 peg, or
the adult slipper loom with 29 peg both in 1=/2 inch gauge and be ok. 

 

On the website go to catalog, then to round looms, than to slipper looms, and select child slipper
loom ½ inch gauge.

As for cost and shipping:

 

Cost $10.   

Shipping $5.95 US

Shipping Australia $14.0 delivered in 4 to six weeks or priority $23 

Note, will refund partial shipping cost for Australian customers if she is able to fit it into a
flat envelope.

Be sure to note in your order that you are from krafter’s korner.

 

The other option  is to order the Oval combo in a ½ inch gauge. This comes in a wide variety of
lengths and number of pegs. I have the 14-inch loom myself but there are sizes both smaller and
larger. request a center peg so that you  can adjust the loom to make smaller or larger items in
the round.

they have more flexibility than the 27-peg custom round loom, so that is something to keep in mind.


 

To purchase this loom go to catalog, shape, oval, then select oval/panel combo loom.

 

There are so many looms and all in two different gauges, so be careful when ordering. stick with
the ½-inch gauge looms, because the ¾-inch larger gauge looms will leave holes in your slippers
even with super-bulky yarn. this spacing is equivalent to the 36 and 41 peg round looms.

Hope I haven’t confused you too much. It is a complicated business. <smile.)
