The unique design of our looms makes it as easy to adjust stitch size as if it were a double board.
It has long been thought that the only way to change the gauge of a single side loom was to change the spacing of the pegs. The Kiss loom has changed that! The gauge of a loom should only be referred to by the stitches it produces, not by how it is made. Gauge should be referenced by the number of stitches and rows per inch on the knitted fabric.
The loom was designed with the Kiss principal in mind. Keep it simple! Our looms allow you to change your gauge for any project, while still using the same loom.
Gauge is set by changing how much yarn is used for each stitch. With regular looms this is done by changing the distance between pegs. The kiss loom starts out with a small gauge then uses gauge pins to increase the distance the yarn travels between pegs. The gauge is determined by this traveling yarn and by changing the settings on our looms you increase the amount of traveling yarn - and therefore change the knitted gauge.
There are 3 basic settings that can be obtained just by changing the way the boards are assembled. Anything between the basic settings can be obtained using the supplied washers. The screws, nuts, and washers are made of industrial grade nylon. They are smooth, and lightweight. The screw heads have a large slot so a coin can be used as a screw driver.
With the modular system You can have a lot of different size 'round looms' with just a few modules. All the modules will connect end to end or connect in a 90 degree angle. Modules of 15 pegs or larger come with hardware to use them as a double rake.
All orders come with a small handle pick and a small handle purling tool. All loom orders come with printed instructions except the 24 peg Introductory loom. |
