[NFB-Krafters-Korner] looming technique

[terrypowers59 at gmail.com]

Hi Becky;
I always loom with my yarn, outside my loom, on the right!
I am also right handed.  
This gives you room to unwind the yarn, with out it tangling on the pegs,
near where you are working.
I have had very little experience working with 2 strands of yarn.  I would
put them in a bag or trash can and when you knit, have the 2 strands flow
through your fingers, to prevent twisting.
Are you actually knitting, double stranded or making something, with 2
colors of yarn?
If knitting double stranded, you could even wind the 2 balls, into one ball.

Terry

It has been a while since I loomed. The loomed piece I was doing was torn
out, to tight, to twisted. My question for you seasoned loomers, where
should my two balls of yarn be, i.e., on the floor, on my right, since I am
right-handed, on my left on the floor. Should the two balls of yarn be in
one large plastic lined box or two to try and prevent twisting of the yarn.
Since the loom is an oval, should the yarn come up from the middle, or
above; left side, right side.

 

I am looking for technique to place the yarn balls.
