[Nfb-krafters-korner] Figure 8 loom

Thu Aug 13 18:01:09 UTC 2015

Portia, I have learned about all the different looms by being on Facebook and I might just have a few of them too hehe. We can’t not mention the KISS looms, of which I do not have….yet and there is another set from the UK which I would have to look up for more info.

These looms allow one to make afghans, throws and<br>>> blankets in one piece without the need to sew pieces together.<br>>><br>>> - The Serenity Loom: I’m not sure this loom is available anymore as<br>>> there were lots of problems with it, I’ve heard it being called “a cheap <br>>> plastic”<br>>> loom.<br>>> - The KB Super Afghan loom: by Authentic Knitting Board, Regular gauge <br>>> "S"<br>>> shaped loom<br>>> Knit a 60" afghan in one piece!!<br>>><br>>> Hi-grade plastic loom with 198 pegs, smooth finish, 7/16" gauge. Size<br>>> 11" X 19".<br>>> The rounded construction and shape allow for many stitches without<br>>> taking up much room. Lightweight and smooth finish makes this loom a<br>>> joy to use. Knit shawls, afghans, and much more in single knit. Use<br>>> all 198 pegs or less for smaller projects.<br>>> My note: there have found a way to double knit on this loom, it<br>>> requires marking certain pegs as you will bot be able to use all pegs.<br>>> I do have this loom and have a current project on it. At first I had<br>>> a little trouble with the pegs being so close together but have since <br>>> mastered it.<br>>><br>>> CinDwood Universal S looms: Our universal loom can be used as a<br>>> single or double rake afghan. Included is a movable wedge with a peg<br>>> that is used in the inside groove of the loom so you can also knit round <br>>> tubes in any size.<br>>> Colored marker pegs aren’t wrapped if using the figure 8 wrap on the<br>>> double panel. Comes in 3 sizes and two gauges.  1/2 inch gauge is<br>>> tighter and finer yarns can be used. 5/8 inch gauge has more space<br>>> between each peg for easier.<br>>> My notes: I have the largest one of these looms and have done both<br>>> single and double knit projects. The marked pegs are visually marked,<br>>> would require some sighted help to tactically mark these pegs.<br>>><br>>> Hope this helps and if you have any further question let me know, if<br>>> I don’t know the answer I’m sure I can find it, lol Barb<br>>><br>>> _______________________________________________<br>>> Nfb-krafters-korner mailing list<br>>> <a href='mailto:Nfb-krafters-korner at nfbnet.org' style='color:#3333ff'>Nfb-krafters-korner at nfbnet.org</a><br>>> <a href='http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfb-krafters-korner_nfbnet.org' style='color:#3333ff'>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfb-krafters-korner_nfbnet.org</a><br>>> Division Website:  <a href='http://www.krafterskorner.org' style='color:#3333ff'>http://www.krafterskorner.org</a> Facebook page:<br>>> <a href='https://www.facebook.com/pages/NFB-Krafters-Division/269246643109571' style='color:#3333ff'>https://www.facebook.com/pages/NFB-Krafters-Division/269246643109571</a><br>>> "Follow NFB Krafters Korner on Twitter: Our Handle is @craftingblind<br>>> Don't have a Twitter account?
