The smaller gauges have thinner pegs with less space between the pegs, and usually use a thinner yarn. Looms come in a variety of gauges depending on what size stitch you would like to create fine, small, regular, and chunky gauge. Just like in needle knitting, where needles come in different sizes to create different size stitches, looms have the same options. Choose your loom based on what you would like to create. There are round looms, long looms/ knitting boards, adjustable looms (work as both a round and long loom) and modular looms (you customize with the pegs you need).
Knitting looms come in various shapes and sizes. Double knitting is a great method when you want to put designs in your work. Yarn is wrapped across the loom to utilize both rows of pegs to interlock the stitches, and create a double-sided fabric. This requires 2 rows of pegs with an opening in between them. In double knitting, the knit is created on a long loom/knitting board or with the ‘Rotating’ Double Knit Loom. But single knitting, in the round (tubular shape) for items like hats, cowls, and socks requires a round loom with a set number of pegs. Knitting in flat panel, for projects like scarves, blankets, and shawls, any knitting loom can be used. In single knitting, you are creating a knitted piece that looks similar to needle knit. Knitting looms are designed to work in single knit and/or double knit. Also, it’s easy to see your stitches, and keep track of your knitting.
A great benefit of loom knitting is that it’s gentle on wrists and hands and can be faster than knitting needles, especially with double knitting. Make beautiful knitwear like hats, scarves, cowls, shawls, blankets, sweaters and much more with a simple wrap and hook process. Loom knitting creates a very even knit fabric similar to needle knitting, but the process is different and, incredibly easy to learn.
