AUTHENTIC KNITTING BOARDAfghan Knitting Loom for Blankets, Loom Knitting Blankets, S Shaped Loom

This is an amazing tool! You can make very wide blankets, or small whichever you choose. Very versatile and fast! The quality is also top notch!

This loom is perfect. It is durable, comfortable to use for it's size, and the plastic is thick and well designed. I am currently using size 6 bulky yarn for a blanket, and there is no bending of pegs. If you do decide to use a thicker yarn, just be sure you knit more loosely for tension reasons. If using bernat yarn, even when knit loosely on this loom it will still come out with no gaps. Very happy with my purchase, the most functional blanket loom I have purchased.

This item has lived up to my expectations. It's extremely durable and strong, and I haven't had any issues with pegs coming off. I have been able to use multiple different sizes of yarn, chunky included, and they all work really well. The size of the item is quite large so it will take you some time to find a position that's comfortable, but it's very easy to move around and hold. I was hesitant on purchasing due to the price, but I went ahead and did it and I'm glad I did. The quality really shows in the price. The figure 8 stitch is very easy to do on this board.

I have mixed feeling there are a lot of plus and a few negatives, you will have to watch a few videos and find what works best for you. I am a knitter so for me it is faster to knit but this does look better on the edges where using needles may leave them loose. It does keep the stitches close together and you won’t have the separation between stitches that you may have with needles. I have tried everything I know to make the stitches looser but so far am having issues pulling the yarn over each hook. As you go around there is a little issue with turning but the loom is small enough to turn around as you go. It might be easier to use on a table and not your lap. This is the first time I have used it and it does seem to be made of good quality and I believe it will hold up for years of use. For me it would be faster to just knit but I am holding my full review for when I get through with the afghan. It will take me a while to finish this since I have trouble with my hands I have to take more breaks than if I just knitted or crochet.The only negative that I have seen so far is that it will take longer to make something and it isn’t easy to slip the yarn over the hooks as the videos I have seen make it. For right now I am just trying to get through knitting but do plan on trying cable stitches etc later on. I also feel it would be easier and nicer to knit a sweater, jacket and things giving you a more defined look with better ends than knitting does. I have made sweaters before and always have the ends with big holes in the last stitch. I am very interested to see how easy it will be to make a sweater and the outcome of the look of it. Scarves would be easy and look very nice done from this loom so I don’t see paying for another loom when you can do so much on this one.I will update as I go along and make different things.

I almost didn't buy this - so many reviews claim the loom is cheaply made & difficult to use - but I really wanted a loom that would allow me to knit wider pieces, so I took a chance. I am so glad I did! This is a great loom. It is sturdy & well made - I have been using it daily for almost a month now & it is holding up just fine. I don't find it overly difficult to use. It would probably be best to have some prior experience with loom knitting before you try to use this - it is a bit different from the more standard round looms - but overall it is easy to use, & it is so nice to be able to knit blankets without having to stitch pieces together! The only thing I would change about this loom is the fact that the peg heads are flat sided, whereas the other looms I've used always had rounded sort of knob-like peg heads. Because they are flat, the yarn will slip off when you are wrapping, if you are not really careful. It takes a little bit of getting used to. Overall, for the price, this is a great loom & I would definitely recommend it!

Love this loom. I’ve been working on a blanket on it for 2 years now. Very light and easy to work with. The hook it comes with is one of my favorite ones.

Anyone saying this product is flimsy and cheap must be using it wrong. It’s very sturdy and does exactly what it’s supposed to do if you’re not aggressive with it.

While this product is sturdy, I am very disappointed how difficult it is to manage. The pegs are so close together and the roundness of the shape, it is advisable to use smaller diameter yarn. It would be a very lightweight afghan which would also cost a bundle for the amount of yarn needed.
