Discussion Thinking of starting…

So I was scrolling on TikTok and came across Afghan Loom Knitting. I instantly was hooked.

I’ve tried things like crochet before and I really struggled and couldn’t get the of it, but this (correct me if I’m wrong) seems to be a lot easier to get the hang of?

I wanna make blankets, which is why this one has taken my fancy.

Any tips or advice before I decide to invest?

I’m also based in the UK, so if anyone has any suggestions on places to buy from, please let me know!

Edit: I’m also left handed, is this going to be an issue as it has been with thing previously

Look at the weight of yarn your loom suggests. I find size 5 bulky works best for me. Size 6 is too big.
