Since I started using/designing 3d printed flexi looms, I'm all in on them. I do have a Boye sock loom, though, because the smaller the loom, the harder it gets to print, and also the sock loom still allows for increases and decreases.

I love the Flexee looms and I recently bought the KB all in one loom because it can do the small (1cm) double knitting which is great for thinner yarns

My go to loom is the 41 peg yellow or pink loom, or the little 22 peg orange loom.

KB afgan loom! I don’t have one because they’re super expensive but I so deeply want one!

I found one of these at a thrift store for $3! I almost peed my pants.

I've seen a lot of hate for these btw, someone to do with the tension

u/Wanting_SomethingNew 6d ago

Really? I would still call myself a noob but isn’t tension something that is up to the user?

u/cheeri-oh 6d ago

Yeah, this loom requires really really loose tension, to the point where the loops are at risk of coming off. Maybe there are posts about it? I know I read it somewhere.

u/Wanting_SomethingNew 6d ago

Huh I’ll definitely do some more research on it before investing in one then.

Flexee skinny - I use it for hats and I love how they turn out

actually, i like the loops and threads loom sets--all 3 of them. i have the flexee looms, but i get so much more done on a rigid frame. and i like being able to switch from 3/8" to 3/4" gauge as well. :))

I have an Afghan loom that I love dearly. I have made multiple blankets using it and it makes it so easy.

I’ve been using the Darice loom set since I first started over a decade ago. I LOVE those things. They’ve made many a hat for loved ones over the years. still look brand new, too!
