The Double peg wedge has been made to help with the 1/2" gauge for our longer oval panel looms. Specifically for our universal hat/scarf loom 1/2" gauges as well as the 36" oval/afghan and the 24" oval/afghan. It will not work well with the smaller oval/panel looms and does not fit in Universal S looms. This double peg wedge is now included in orders with each of these 3 looms in 1/2" gauge. If you order a 5/8" gauge loom you will receive a single peg oval/panel wedge. Can be ordered separately.
This loom is the perfect size and gauge to make a 10-stitch baby blanket with bulky (#5) yarn, I own other looms in this gauge, but they're round--fine for hats or scarves, but awkward for making blankets.
I am an elderly knitter with hands that don’t always do what I tell them. Larger gauge knitting looms mean fewer dropped stitches. But I love the look of projects done in a finer gauge. I took a chance and bought this loom to make a full size Afghan for my husband. For this Christmas. Madness! I had to start over a couple of times because I couldn’t fix a mistake. But lesson learned. In this age of instant gratification, I realized that a slower, more measured pace eliminated dropped stitches. And that I was a much more relaxed knitter. I’m 20 mistake free inches into the 70 inches for this project. I love the way it looks and feels. Sometimes it’s nice (and good for me) to ease up and enjoy the process. I’m very happy I bought this loom and am having this experience.
