Does this loom work with bulky or extra-bulky yarns (i.e. #6)? Do any adjustments need to be done for bulkier yarns?

I have currently made only the two afghans which were the same pattern. In that particular pattern the yarn was Lion Brand Homespun and I think it was a #5. There was no problem and again that was the particular brand and number called for in the pattern.

it is one 18inch loom that you can add extenders to (2 5 peg extenders come with it) - one of them can slide to make adjustments - you can make socks, bags, hats & scarves using this - also I make tops and shawls

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.

I use 20lb braid with a 6lb fluorocarbon leader. Check you tube for how to tie them together it works and casts very well. Thanks Dan...

I haven't tried this particular size needle and brand of thread but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I use it with embroidery thread all the time. It even works well with 2 strands of thread. It's save me hours of time.

It handles thick yarn great! The most I've put on is a 7 oz skein of regular yarn. Sometimes I get the whole thing on, sometimes I split it into two balls. I love this machine!

I love my Janome . I mainly use it for quilting, but also do a lot of alterations for friends and family. Working with thick fabric and seams on blue jeans is the worst, but my janome goes over those seams, well, seamlessly! Haha. Seriously, my Janome has an even feed system that works like a charm on thick fabrics. Hope this info helps. CB

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.

I have used the thread in my bobbin. It works great. It's thicker than some of the other thread (Aurifil) I use for quilting which I like. It really is just a matter of preference. I like the colors within the box. Hope this helps.

I have used 5lb spools of various brands and they fit fine. Dont forget to get a cutter. I thought it had one built in but it doesnt. Really a nice buy on this.

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

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.

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 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.
