Authentic Knitting Board Sock Loom 2, Regular Gauge Adjustable Loom, 100% Hardwood

The product came in on time and as described. Well made looks simple to use.. this was a purchase for my husband who loans and wanted to try this sock loom. I will revise the video once someone’s made socks on it and let you know how it goes.

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 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.

By all accounts this seemed to be the go-to sock loom, but I can't say I was thrilled with it. It's heavy and cumbersome for such a small loom, awkward to hold and work on. The hardware pokes out (though thankfully only in one spot) and I found it very irritating to try working around that. It poked into me and was constantly snagging my yarn when I had the loom turned to that side. Working the slider when it was set to even an average size was finicky to say the least. It shares many of the same issues I have with the All-n-One, but for some unknown reason those issues are more pronounced and definitely more frustrating in the sock loom. This thing almost had me swearing off sock looms entirely, but considering my investment in sock yarn and its much lower price I decided to try the Boye sock loom before giving up. Glad I did. Read my review of the Boye sock loom to see just how much I love that one.

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.

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.

This product is nice. I probably won’t make socks out of it but I make hats and scarves for the homeless so I’ll be making scarves with it. It’s great because it’s nice and sturdy plastic is an awesome Item

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.
