I have the original sock loom for fingering weight yarn. I was happy to see the same loom for heavier weight yarn. Super easy to use and well made.

I bought this loom to knit kid's socks for charity. I used DK weight acrylic yarn for my first project, a pair of baby socks. The loom worked great although it took me a few tries to be able to use the five pegs on that adjustable part. Once I figured out what to do, the knitting was easy.

Having tried other sock looms. This one is awesome. Much better than oval ones.

I like this loom. It makes nice fine stitches. Easy to adjust for sizing. Very good looking socks.

Für jemanden der gerne Socken machen möchte aber nicht stricken kann ist es definitiv zu empfehlen!

Non l’ho ancora usato mancano istruzioni in italiano.Sarebbe buona norma che le vendite di prodotti stranieri in Italia venissero corredati di istruzioni in italiano. Anche i manuali sono in inglese.

If you've never used a knitting loom before, YouTube is your friend! The product itself seems sturdy and put together we'll. I love that it's adjustable. I got this to make socks for my toddler so being able to produce a variety of sizes is a necessity!I found that the written instructions for use were a little difficult to follow and YouTube got me where I needed to be. The manufacturer of this knitting board has plenty of instructional videos to follow.I think the handle for knitting tool could be a tad longer but no big deal, I'll just see if I can find one that meets my needs.

I got this today and have been playing around with it for awhile. I have some experience with the smaller starter loom from KB which is narrower and smaller in general. This is proving a little more difficult to hold, but I think with practice that will get better in time.Right out of the box I had to tighten the hex screw on the non-adjustable end because the 5 peg connector was really loose and wobbly. I don't think that everyone will have the correct size allen wrench laying around, so I wish that the manufacturers would include one in the kit, as these types of screws loosen over time anyway. I don't think this is a defect in anyway, but it is worth keeping at the back of your head.My first impressions is that other than the tightening of a screw, it is well made and sturdy. The pegs are plastic but are very good quality. My previous loom has taken a beating with my butter fingers and too tight tension and I haven't had an issue.When working with a smaller sock (toddler size) the interior pegs on the adjustable part are hard to get to if you are doing a stitch that requires you to come up from the bottom of the peg. However, it is only 5 pegs out of the XX number that you are using.Knitters probably won't enjoy these looms like I do, but I can't make knitting needles work.

Great for a beginner, as reviewed by a beginner. This is my first experience with a loom or board of any kind, though now that I know they exist I'm looking at others. I wanted something not to expensive in case I hated it, plus socks! As I get older my poor tired toesies want socks! The knitting board is well constructed. The pets easy to move. The instruction booklet is okay, but there are really good instruction videos on you-tube that show step by step how to use this, or similar boards. For a nervous beginner this board is small enough not to be intimidating, sturdy enough I'm not afraid of breaking it with my knitter-puppy clumsiness, and the wider spaced pegs are great for my fumbling beginnings.The board came with a booklet, although online is better, and a knit hook, everything I needed to start but the yarn. This makes thicker worsted weighted socks, they make thinner tighter pegged ones for thinner yarn. I will probably get another one but for now I like the space to get the yard around and the hook in while I'm learning.

I only gave a 4, as to work on this is tedious to say the least..For folks that have a a lot of patience for a slow going project, it's great...But I guess I don't have the time to give to it..I have a crochet pattern for socks using sock yarn that goes a much faster then the loom. I do have a sock started but only will work on it when time allows..One needs to be so careful in dropping a stitch & it does take practice to work the heel..I like the look of a knitted sock but alas, cannot get how to do a turned heel..So bought the loom thinking I could get the "look" from that..Toooooooo much time involved...I realize some people can work faster on a loom, but I'm not one of them..lol... If you like slow, this is the project for you...

It took a long time for me to actually purchase one of these because I didn't need it, just wanted it. I had yet to finish knitting a pair of socks because I don't like using dp needles. This seemed the solution for a faster and easier way. Well it is not proving to be either faster or easier. The loom itself seems to be well made and strong. And the DVD had adequate instructions. But I am finding it very hard to use. My tension is much too tight and I need a surface to lay the loom on to use it. It is possible that I just have to master the learning curve, but frustrating none the less. So hard to say if I am the problem, or if the product. Perhaps a little of both.

This is well made and the instructions are "alright" but the real boon is the DVD that comes with it. I kept it in the player for the first two socks and would play it step by step as I went along. Now that I have the concept it is easy to adapt to other patterns -- for example those in the book I bought at the same time. And that DVD will come in handy again in a few months when I decide to do more projects and need a quick refresher.What is also good, I think, (if I can successfully do it) is that I can use this loom to make the ribbed cuff (top down) pretty easy. Then Transfer the stitches on to DPNs. I just get all tangled up when I try to use dpns, and because the loom makes those first rows so eay I can see it giving me a great frustration free head start.I may even try out some of those plastic knobby looking things as this turned out so well. I am almost done with my second pair of scrappy socks and I made a xmas varigated sock for the fireplace. Cool.
