How do I keep the loom middle section from tightening in on itself. I don’t feel or think I’m pulling the yarn any tighter that the ends.

I have browsed a ridiculous number of beginner loom knit videos, and you are, by leaps and bounds, the clearest, most concise instructor i have found. Your voice is warm and encouraging, you have minimal extraneous commentary and your expectation that to be a beginner does not necessarily mean you are not intelligent is tremendously gratifying. I have subscribed and will continue to use and recommend your tutorials!

The gauge of the Zippy Loom is 1.5 inches, and it's made by KB Looms. Yes, the pieces snap together. In Canada you can buy them on Amazon or at Michaels, but don't know about the UK.

I used 10 Zippy looms, so 5 Zippy looms on top (20 pegs) and 5 on bottom (another 20 pegs), so 40 pegs in total. They are held together by two long and skinny connectors, one at each end.

Newbie here and wanted to thank you for the thoroughness of your videos and the way you explain what you’re doing! I made an attempt at a blanket using this video, but I used Bernat Blanket yarn and my blanket was so loose and didn’t hold a shape and I wasn’t sure if I did something wrong with the tightness of the figure 8’s or if that gauge of that yarn is just too small to do figure 8’s with on the zippy?

@hellomsyarn 2 жыл бұрын

Even my blanket is quite airy. The figure 8 stitch is loose by its nature, and the gauge of this loom is so large. Maybe try a larger yarn as you mentioned. Otherwise maybe the stockinette stitch or the rib stitch would be denser. Thank you for sharing and for watching.

Hi, do you mean that the two rows are so close together and that it's hard to pull your project down? If so, after every row, you can try pulling it downwards under every single peg from left to right.
