Every online video that I've seen says that you have to use bulky yarn or two strands of worsted weight...why? I crochet scarves with 1 strand.

It depends on the gauge of the loom. This particular loom handles 1 strand of worsted just fine.

Just start in an inconspicuous place. Down low.? Make it wrap around diagonally. Keep it about a little over an inch apart. Make full circle. Tie it off back at your start. Don't pull too hard on string wrap. It breaks easy.

Last question first. The "needles" are actually nails. I use a crochet hook to loop yarn over. If you use a thin yarn the fabric will be loose and stretchy and wider because of the stretch, up to 36 inches. A thick yarn will make a thick tight fabric around 30 inches in width. To knit the nails are wrapped with yarn then wrapped again. Bottom thread is pulled up over the the top thread. If you have ever "spool knit" using a spool with four nails and pulling the rope through the hole of the needle this will be a breeze because it is exactly the same thing on a large scale. You can make this as small as the four nails like on a spool and just use four nails on the knitting board or as wide as the board. Just depends on how many nails you use. You can make the fabric as long or as short as you want just keep knitting for the length. It is very easy. The board makes a double knit fabric. I hope this has helped you a bit. If you have any other questions I'll be happy to try and answer them. Ginny

I string it through my legs like any other recurve. But if you absolutely must do it the traditional way then go to YouTube and look up how to string a Mongolian bow. This is not a Mongolian bow but they have a similar shape.

I haven't tried using 6 strands. I think it will work if it fits through the needle. I usually use 3 strands of DMC.

None - you shouldn't use that heavy of line in this lightweight reel.However, you could do what I do and use a braided line, which is much stronger than monofilament lines for the same diameter. I've got 6lb test Suffix braided line and it has a rated breaking strength of 20lbs, but the diameter of a typical 6lb test line (about the maximum diameter that should be used with this reel). The braided line costs 2-3x what a monofilament line would cost, but I figure it saved me much more than that in lost tackle, as I lost only two lures in a week's solid fishing and they both caught on the backside of heavy logs and frayed on the edge of the log.

Are you using too big of crimps for the size of line? Two lines should barely fit thru the crimp. Also you should not use crimps on threads, like Fireline, or threadlike line. They do not hold at all. These are mostly used with seed beads, not stringing. They knot them instead. I hope this helps. Myself, I personally prefer the manual crimper. I do not care for the crimper I bought as it is hard to squeeze, and catches. May just be I got a defective one.

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.

I filled my scarf up with different weight scarves and they are still hanging! I love it, it is perfect for my scarves! I received more scarves for Xmas Gifts and ordered a second one! They are great! No problems!

To be completely honest, I'm still working all that out. I have yet to have a satisfying finished product with this item when working with anything but yarn or string.

I have a couple of thicker scarves hung in mine. The only difference is that I like to fold my scarves before putting them in the loop for easy access when I want to pull them out. With the thicker scarves, you may not be able to do that, although I have with my yarn ones - I just squish them in. This thing has been great for organizing my scarves and I even put a few belts on the lower loops.

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.

Do you use a swift? I have never had a tight result; but then again I use the yarn from the outside of the ball of yarn. To me pulling from the inside causes the yarn to be roughed up.

I just did some kick butt work---and it used very little twine. It is my impression that I might be able to get by with only one roll per year.

Mine is pretty much full. I have heavy winter scarves and light weight scarves and I have had no issues.

It's easy...after you get used to it. You pull a tiny strand of hair away from all the others, underneath the top layer of hair. You put a loop / bead on the "crochet needle" then you pull the tiny strand of hair through the loop/bead with the crochet needle. Then, you put the "shoestring" end of the hair/feather into the loop/bead with the hair. Then, finally, you squeeze the bead together to smash it to hold the hair piece into place. Hope that makes sense. You may be able to google it or find a youtube video. Thanks!

Hi I purchased 3 bundles and did a full weave. My hair is very thick and full. I wished I had more. The tracks are good lenght and they are full not thin. I like my hair. By it being raw hair use a tangle free conditioning shampoo it works well with this hair. I hope this helped.
