[Nfb-krafters-korner] Class questions

[Henry Osborne]

Hi Jenny, Cindy Wood Craft Looms are a very good, well made loom. Terry and 
I have several of them.
They can be a bit pricy. For the beginning loomer we recommend the looms 
that you can get at Walmarts, Michaels, Jo Anns or A C Moores.
A set of 4 looms will usually cost about $15 to $20, if you find that you 
don't like to loom knit, you won't have spent a lot of money on looms that 
you may not continue to use.

Cindy Woods Looms is an family run business and their looms are made well.
You have a choice of the spacing between pegs which gives you a choice of
yarn weights to use.

The Knifty Knitters that had the 4 round looms had:
2 larger circle looms peg spacing was 3/4" and you had to use the #5 or #6
yarn weight or double [2 strands] of worster weight #4 yarn.

The 2 smaller round looms [correct me if I am wrong] spacing was either 1/2
or 5/8" and suggested weight was #4 or #5 weight yarn.
