5.0 out of 5 stars
Awesome Loom,
This review is from: Lion Brand Martha Stewart Crafts Knit & Weave Loom Kit
I received this loom about a week ago. I am very happy with the quality of this loom. It is super versatile. It is well constructed. Once put together, the pegs hold it together and do not come out of the holes until they are pulled out.
The pegs come in two different sizes, each size in two colors for marking different type stitches or in counting. The only drawback I have found is that the loom hook is poorly made and breaks within a very short time. I have several loom hooks so was not really a problem for me. It is easily usable for the novice or the more advanced loom knitters. Thanks to the pieces coming apart I have also been able to link pieces together and make a chain. This loom set is also a great for weaving projects. I have made several items thus far and can honestly give it a 5 Star rating.

This review is from: Lion Brand Martha Stewart Crafts Knit & Weave Loom Kit
I started my loom knitting adventure with a set of round looms (similar to Knifty Knitter), but quickly realized that it might be nice to double knit and do smaller-gauge knitting as well. After reading many reviews, the Martha Stewart/Lion loom set seemed a wise choice. Thus far I am very pleased! The loom components are sturdy and very versatile. I have both a small gauge and a larger gauge project going on two different looms constructed from the set, and both have been working well. The only "hiccups" I've found: A couple of the loom pieces didn't go together easily (it took quite a bit of force to get them to line up correctly), but other pieces were fine. Also, in order to hold the different loom segments together, it's necessary to place a peg in a particular spot. Sometimes that spot is convenient, sometimes it's not -- but I haven't had a problem getting projects to work despite those limitations. Also, depending on your project, there may or may not be an extra peg available to wrap the tail of your working yarn around. The directions that come with the set are definitely challenging to follow. (It seems that the photos are taken from a difficult angle to interpret.) I'd recommend checking online (YouTube, etc.) for instructions as there is a wealth of information available there. No need to be frustrated for lack of information, no matter what loom you use! To summarize: terrific, clever, versatile loom set.

Real nice loom with some issues,
By V. Orcutt (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lion Brand Martha Stewart Crafts Knit & Weave Loom Kit
I already have two "Knifty Knitter" loom sets (round and oblong) but wanted something a bit more versatile. Got the Martha Stewart Knit and Weave Loom for Christmas, and overall I am happy with it.My only issues are: 1. Can't find extra pegs. I am clumsy and lose little things. The pegs that fit well in the loom don't come out. Others, however, don't go in so well and have the potential for being lost. Would like to buy extra pegs someplace. Anyplace. I don't care where. Just want extra pegs! 2. Loom hook is badly designed. The wide part near the hook end means the hook has to be rotated sideways to fit through the pegs when pulling yarn through on both sides of the loom. I got around that problem by having hubby fashion a hook from an old wire hanger. He got the proper bend in the hook end, and it's just an inch longer than the plastic hook and works great. I can zip through a woven square in no time now. Like someone else mentioned, the directions in the book are a little unclear, but I experimented a bit with the weaving part and worked it out. My very first woven squares turned out awesome! Already know how to loom knit, so I didn't bother with those directions. There are loom knitting videos on You Tube, however, for novices. Didn't really care for the rosettes, but may experiment a little with those. Aside from the issues above, though, the kit does seem to be well made and capable of lasting for a long time. I like the adjustability factor with different sized pegs and being able to skip peg holes. One thing I did was to buy a plastic tool box to hold all the parts and the manual. Nice kit overall. 1/24/12 UPDATE...I emailed Lion Brand Yarn, which sells these kits, asking where I can find extra pegs. Twice. No reply one way or the other. So I bought a second kit here on Amazon. Worth the money for me, as I often have more than one project going on at the same time. Also, by linking the straight pieces together I can get a very wide loom on which to knit larger items like afghans in one piece instead of two (or three). I suppose it's also possible to create a very large weaving loom as well.
