This is the smallest gauge in the larger looms. They do have a 10-inch loom with metal pegs that's a smaller gauge, and the sock loom, also.

You can use a little bigger but need bigger eye of needle. What size thread do you want to use? Monday phoneme. Sammy sewingmachineoutlet

She will love this loom. It is much simpler than traditional looms. The thread typically used for beading is Nymo, which comes in a variety of colors. Size 10 or twelve beading needles will be fine, twelve being the thinner of the two and the one I personally would use. You can get the needles at Jo-Ann's or Michael's and probably also the Nymo but the Nymo colors will be limited. You will need to go to a specific bead store or online for a better Nymo color range. A lot of people recommend size D Nymo, but I prefer size B, which is a little bit thinner. The best beads for looming are Japanese, either Miyuki or Toho. Japanese beads are more cylindrical and more uniform in size than Czech or other beads. I prefer Toho. For a beginner, I would recommend either size 11 Toho seed beads or Toho Treasures. The colors are amazing and the bead sizes are very consistent. My favorite online site for beads is General Bead in San Francisco. They have very good prices, free shipping over $50.00 and some deals right now on Toho Treasures and Mikuki Delicas in some really beautiful colors. A lot of other stores have have them, too; I just prefer General Bead. Michaels does (I think) carry small amounts of Tohos but I think they will be a lot cheaper if you buy online. You could also google on Amazon and compare prices. I would also recommend a thread conditioner called Thread Heaven which I think you can get either at JoAnn's or Michael's and definitely online. Another good place to buy supplied is Beadaholique, which has its own online store and also sells through Amazon. I also love Beaducation, which has great customer service and very good prices, though they are a little bit more focused on metalworking. Both Beadaholique and Beaducation have GREAT free teaching videos on You Tube, many of which focus on beading. I know Beadaholique has a video on the Ricks Loom. It's the best loom I've ever used and your granddaughter will love it!

My answer is the same as the others. No this is finer than the #18. This D can be compared to C-Lon thread. I use both for fine beading. The #18 I use more with kumihimo. I hope this helps you.

U don't need buy an additional loom just use the one u have.And the bigger loom sometimes you may need to buy an additional loom depending on what project you are doing

Mine has many loose ends that stick out. The wicker? Is fairly soft however. It's up to you, but me personally I wouldn't want to take the chance of ruining my knitted things.

The Knitting Board Company carries 28", 38" and 18" All in One Board that are adjustable. You can use different weights of yarn and adjust using the spacers. The spacing between the 2 rails or boards determines the size of your gauge, or stitches. You can create a light, open weave or very bulky effect with the thickness of yarn and space between the boards.

You can use any circular needles in place of regular needles. Just knit back and forth as you normally would and pretend the cable isn't there.

Your cast on stitches are determined by the size of socks you're making. Your pattern should tell you the number to cast on and you can adjust it accordingly. Just make sure that you cast on according to what corresponds with your pattern. For example if your pattern is a multiple of 4 then you don't want to add 1, 2 or 3 stitches. You'll need to add or subtract 4 stitches at a time to follow the design pattern so it works out or the socks won't look like you're expecting them to. Always keep a notebook of changes you've made and patterns you've changed including the book it was in, page number and yarn you used. Then you're ready to make another pair without too much trouble. I have 2 looms and work on each one a row or two at a time using row counters that are numbered with a Sharpie 1 and 2, and the looms are marked 1 and 2 on the bottom. Well worth the cost of another sock loom. Never have to make that dreaded "other sock" because the pair is done at the same time. YouTube has tons of videos on loom knitting socks that are very helpful!

The sock loom can be configured in several ways - it comes with a small piece that adjusts the size inside the 'loop' If you look up the 'Authentic Knitting..." loom online there are several images of different configurations that may help you visualize.

I had no problem changing yarns as long as the weight was correct. DK was great. Worsted was more difficult. Didn't try bulky but I doubt the machine could handle it.

You're very limited with size with this loom. No bigger than 8 inches or so.

Thanks for your question, After searching our catalog I was unable to find this product in t he specification you mentioned. I would suggest checking out the "customers who viewed this product also viewed" section for ideas of more available items you may like. I hope you find one that suits your needs!

I made several things on mine and it didn't break, but then I didn't try to take it apart either. I'm fairly new to the rainbow loom, but from what I've seen so far some patterns call for the center row of pins to be offset from the two outside rows, and some patterns call for them all to be parallel to each other. My guess is that this loom broke when people tried to take the center row off to move it up so the rows were all even.

I am sorry to say that it would not fit. It is to wide and it would barely fit lengthwise. SO this item would not work for your loom. But it works great for rubber bands. I hope this helps.

I was teaching 1st and 2nd graders. The loops are very tight on the loom and most of the children had me helping. There were 14 children, some had no patience for it, some did not want to try, the few who tried needed help, but one little boy got his mom to buy him a loom and loops. I think I might look around for one that you can try in a store. It was not easy for me when I did it. I remember the ones I had as a child were more loosed. You cannot do with fingers. It is just tight. Hope this helps.

I think you could probably use red emboidery thread for it...and a big, heavy duty needle. Go to a craft store and look at their selection. I'm sure you will find something you like. Good luck! :)
