      What’s your favorite wrapping method? E-wrap or 1/2 wrap ( I forgot if it has another name).

That was no big deal, as I bought the rest for $5.00. I also have a couple of the rectangular looms, and I need to start using them! Thanks so much for the styler suggestion.

      You and had the same idea! But I used a McD's straw, since they are a bit stronger than the average, cut it in 2 or 3 pieces and I was running! It helps when using 2 yarns, 2 straw/theather per straw.

    I love the idea of using a pen casing for weaving between the pegs., Great idea!

    Thanks for every bit of information. All of it was helpful. I just recently after two years of loom knitting. I finally used my long loom and made a 2 scarfs. But in all tutorials I've looked up. There have been many. I don't remember anyone saying to use it in the round as well. You should make a couple videos of different stitches. Figure 8 and stockinette. And others. Your informative. And clear spoken.

      Thanks Tricia... the looms are somewhat limited but useful. Thanks for the advice on a potential project to understand.

    I'm a little late but yours is the easiest of the videos I can follow, so I'm gonna try my questions and hopefully someone is still around to help.
    1. Why the two strands? Why not just single strand?
    2. What is the range of yarn sizes I can use on the standard looms? You specified the sock loom is the finer yarns, but how small/big can you use on the regular looms? What about bulky weights?
    3. Should delicate yarns be used on the looms at all? By delicate, I mean the kind that isn't twisted but rather one straight strand(like wool I guess?)
    4. Can color pooling properly be done on a loom? In crochet it talks about changing tension with each color switch, obviously you can't change it that much on a loom.

    Very informative! I have a few that I've never really played with. I just may have to get them out. Your "styler" idea is freaking genius!

    Thats really interesting. I’ve just bought a sock loom, and my niece has a hat one, I find the hat one very unfriendly to my joints. Your information is very helpful. Thank you.
