I am looking for a s loom that will accommodate worsted weight yarn. Can I use one strand of worsted weight yarn on this loom?

I have not used this yet, but I do not see why you would not be able to. This loom is very well constructed and much more durable than the other looms I have seen in the stores that are similar to it. It also has little notches at the top to help keep the yarn from slipping all the time.

Yes, it's like a heavy thread, and I haven't used it yet because it wasn't what I needed. I was looking for a heavier twine. It should fuse well though.

Sure you can. You can use fibers with ANY loom. Mirrix has a shedding device like looms made strictly for fibers, but you don't need a shedding device for bead weaving and you can weave fibers on a bead loom by taking the fibers over and under the warp threads manually. Mirrix has nice information on their website about different weave styles you can do and ways to change between fibers and beaded sections of a piece.

Hello! These will stand up to considerable use. I have Stitchberry single tipped bamboo needles and they are much more fragile than these by Ostart. The latter is a lovely darker "polished" wood, not like the Stitchberry that I have to sand on occasion to keep smooth. Even the US 1 is a sturdy set. I live at the beach and store them in a plastic box inside the little plastic sleeves they were shipped in and mine haven't warped at all. I have been delighted with this set of double pointed needles, I use them very often [I don't have a telly so I craft instead]. I wouldn't be able to knit hats and baby things without them. :-)

I love mine and should be fine for threads and I used mine for clipping yarn at a woolen mill. Just use them for that said threads and they will stay scrap for that use......

It depends on what you are using it for: I used a single strand as a necklace and it frayed in about five days from wear and tear, for a craft it should be fine.

With , but , before you buy think about what you are using it for. Mine has light items in it and it is collapsing! I am looking for something sturdier. It's good for yarn and other very very light things but nothing heavier than that.

Frankly, I would not assume that. I ordered 4 units, expecting to receive 12 skeins, and received 4 skeins. When I asked for the additional skeins, the customer service agent I spoke with was quite rude (from the company, not Amazon). I ended up having to file a complaint with Amazon, who refunded my money. I still don't have all the yarn I need to complete my project.

It's impossible to do with this loom. Don't buy it. They make looms that have a notch/rounded edge so the loops will stay on.

I've used this machine on several fabric weights and it has been great. As long as you have the right needle and thread tension correct, it will be a work horse for you.

I would not make socks with this, but I'm sure you could. I've seen many reviews from people that were not able to use the machine but it takes patience to learn and a lot of practice. I wouldn't really call this a machine, it's more like a loom, you are still doing all the work. I've made blankets, bags, sweaters and cowl/scarfs.

Within each row you can. One of the rows will also easily fit your loom, which is what I like most about it. It has been a great buy for the money.

Yes! I bought it for my teenage Grandaughter who,knowing she was getting one,bought heavy weight yarn to knit a scarf.Trial and error proved you have to allow space for yarn thickness by skipping prongs.After that,it worked out just fine. I hope this answered your question&helped you decide if you want to order one or not.I may get one for myself soon.This particular one is well made.

Yes, I use all different brands for my loom. They are all interchangeable. These bands are great, I bought them myself:)

No...just wind some thread onto some bobbins and put them on the spindles instead of entire cones...at least, that's what I do. You can buy larger bobbins for industrial machines that will hold more thread and you won't run out in the middle of a project like I have done before on the smaller bobbins. It doesn't matter what kind of bobbins you use as long as they fit on the spindles.

I was asked if I could answer this for you, although I use this Fireline bead thread and I must say in the years I have been using it not once has anything come apart that I have made with it. I can say I use the crystal 4ib/size B and it is really strong. On Amazon you can get a better deal and more of this for your money. I would probably go higher then the one I use which is 0.006" for your loom work. Give it a go, I would think it will do what you want it for. But I have not tried loom work before, so I can only say try it once it may be just what your looking for. Hope this helps a little, Liz.
