How to use the Embellish Knit Automatic Spool Loom

Get the Embellish Spool Loom here → amzn.to/2Cn55LF
I'm going to show you how to use the embellish knit automatic spool loom, and if you want to buy one I'll put a link in the description below. The automatic spool loom allows you to create cords for projects. It does a pretty good job and it's very fast in comparison to a spool loom. To use the embellish knit you feed the yarn through the guide and down the center hole, on the other side you'll clip the weight, this part is necessary for the yarn to feed properly through.
Then you turn the handle allowing the first hook to grab the yarn, then you lift the yarn behind the second needle and allow it to be hooked onto the 3rd hook.
The latch on each hook always needs to be in the open or down position at this point, so if it's not, you'll have to open it, but once you get it going it should be automatic.
Then skip the fourth hook and allow the first hook to catch the loop again.
From this point continue turning the handle allowing the yarn to catch on every hook.
Getting this going is a little tricky, not difficult, it just takes some patience. You may need to tug slightly on the yarn that is coming out from underneath just slightly as you turn the handle, you want to make sure that as the hook raises to grab another loop of yarn that the previous loop slides off the peg. If you have a heavy weight yarn this won't work very well or at all. But with lighter weight yarns you can really get this thing going pretty fast, you just have to make sure the hook lets go of the loop before it grabs another one. You may have to give it a tug once in a while so it doesn't bunch up at the top of the tube. The only other thing you want to make sure is that there is no tension on the yarn that is being fed into the loom and that the weight is hanging freely so it can feed the yarn down the tube. Once you're done you just cut the yarn and let it finish weaving the handle. Then take a yarn needle and secure each loop so it doesn't come untangled just like you would on the normal spool loom.

was looking up how to end off my corking after doing it the old fashioned way and had no clue something like this existed. I want one now.

[@sapphoculloden5215]

Thank you! This tutorial really helped me (or, rather, my wife) get my cord knitting. I'm so pleased!

[@brionnarobinson1786]

It was really hard the first few times, but then I got it. Thank you so much

[@carolanngambles5826]

Really helpful didn’t realize the casting on sequence was like that think I would never have worked it out thank you

[@geeksdo1tbetter]

aha! no tension at all, on the yarn being fed in! that tip was exactly what i needed! ty!

[@kginoregon8550]

Finally got it going. Don't use the yarn they send - too thick. I use it with crochet cotton thread to make handles for my string bags. I used to hate making 60 in of I cord - took me over an hour. With this little machine, less than 5 min. Very clear video. Wish I'd watched it before I started playing with the loom.

[@didgeridork4890]

thank you for this video! i was going nuts not being able to get this thing started, despite having the insructions in front of me. apparently the part about skipping the second needle and the fourth needle the first time around completely went over my head until i saw your video so thank you!

[@annwithaplan9766]

I finally got one in the mail today and just tried it out. I first made a tangled mess with some yarn I thought was the same the pkg came with. I had to cut it all out. I rewatched your video and used the sample yarn and it performed flawlessly. This will come in handy making rugs and such. Thank you.

[@AdrianaSD]

Thank you. Your explanation is far better than the other video I found. I managed to make it work.

[@elizabethelliott1414]

This was so helpful! I had the pieces given to me by a friend and didn't know how to use it, your video was very informative! Thank you.

[@aquabluestar]

Thank you so much for your tutorial! This was very helpful. I watched a couple other videos before but they weren't very clear and I almost gave up trying to use the tool. Thanks!

[@mjcamck]

Very much appreciate the step by step directions here. Following printed instructions can be difficult & confusing. THANK YOU.

[@wayneschmidt490]

Excellent demonstration! And thank you for using HD, it makes it much clearer.

[@duchessofdp]

Thank you! Your video was very helpful. I appreciated that it was concise and got to the point quickly. The written instructions that came with my Embellish Knit were pretty clear, but my yarn was not coming of the hook correctly. I couldn't understand why it wasn't working until watching your video. Thanks again.

[@geolisadrag-racing2349]

thank you. Your video was far better than others i watched, they were all like part 1 & 2 they really overcomplicate & repeat themselves. I think people forget that its a video & that the viewer can hit pause, rewind & even rewatch as you mentioned. So everytime someone in a video goes "let me show you that again...& one more time..." I want to scream. SO THANK YOU. I got these machines for my nieces they have gotten quite creative with the rubber band looms & i wanted to expand their "looming". I'll include you video with them & I know they'll be good to go. Do you have any videos on ideas for what to do with these cords once made? Thanks for quick easy instructions. Lisa, Delaware(USA)

[@aSquirrelAteMyGnome]

Very helpful. I've had one of these in my craft drawer for years and couldn't make sense of the instructions it came with.

[@cillag3839]

Thank-you; I was just about to give up, convinced that there was a flaw with my little knitter, but your helpful video saved me from extreme frustration;..very happy with the outcome

[@BuffaloCookiebaker]

Thank you! The printed instructions were not very clear, but your video explained the process very clearly.

[@TearthyFlame]

Using this kind of knitting machine makes me feel like a kid!

[@alejandragcw]

Very short, but very helpful!!!! Thanks

[@megself7945]

Your video is excellent. I could not grasp the procedure relying on the the printed instructions that came with the packaging. You truly helped me out. I can't use my 4 Medium weight wool I purchased for the project. The hooks randomly catch and split the yarn strands causing it to bunch up. It works fine when using the sample yarn provided so apparently it is not defective.

[@sandymallard2571]

Thanks so much, the best video on how to thread and use the cord knitter. I have now been able to make use of the one I purchased.

[@aimeesheller5021]

Thank you so much for your help. I had no idea what I was doing before I saw this video.👍

[@GailsRedDollhouse]

actually it is very helpful I just got it going by watching the video the first time great job!!!!

[@Saphira4Q]

I have one of these and I always have to study the instructions. Watching this video is very helpful. Bernadette

[@misanthraaa]

3rd video i watched about how to use this thing (mine's a Prym but same concept), and finally i get it! Thanks!

[@AmberOsos]

I needed a quick refresher tutorial and this was perfect. Thank you!

[@tammylkd1995]

A lot better than the instructions that came with it, thank you

[@ediemurray1692]

ty i lost my instructions and it had been a while since i used it and needed the reminder

[@LottieSue]

Thank you for your video. Can you share what different kinds of yarn, embroidery floss etc. can be worked with this machine?

[@MC-kj8uy]

I've used embroidery floss, cotton warp thread, sport (#3) yarn, and #4 yarn. #4 doesn't always work; it can get stuck and not feed properly. The others all worked fine but keep in mind, if the thread/yarn is thin the cord will be too.

[@418Gallery]

very good video. can you tell please the thickness of the yard. in order to be a really dense icord. thank you

[@vanessamishellayalagalan8091]

Muchas gracias! Me sacó de apuros al usar mi tejedora!

[@katf3836]

Thanks I was getting ready to buy one of these and your video helped me to decide to get it!! Thanks.

[@traceyreid3101]

Great video, very helpful and easy to follow, thanks so much x watch out world here I come hehe

[@ciw97]

This Little Automatic Knit Pool is great idea and very helpful and do the work very fast .Thanks for sharing :)

[@Woekkie]

thanks i just purchased one and your video helped me get started :)

[@mcdeveney]

Thank you! Instructions were perfect.

[@asumanurhan6203]

Çok iyi tasarım 👏 çok pahalı değildir umarım

[@frankiefurbag9030]

Great!! Ive had thisfor years. This was wonderful. I used embroidery floss, added a second color 1/2 way by just tying a knot. i hadto play with tugging and theweightto get it going. iuseddifferent weight pepples in a jewelry bag instead of the weight. and if you have a cat....oh no

[@carolmarinemom0343]

Thank you. This was very helpful. 😊

[@TheSteelydanfan]

This is brilliant. I can now try again!!!!!

[@RIODJENIRO1]

Yes, your video was VERY HELPFUL!!! Thanks..

[@Matt-bh3gb]

Thank you! I bought one of those at Hobby Lobby a while ago and haven’t started using it yet because the instruction sheet was impossible to understand. (I think they drew the pictures wrong)

[@hexzibahjones2918]

Great demo thank you.

[@meaghangaines4674]

Can you make a tutorial on how to attach the pre-made I cord to a blanket please?

[@tomschmitz4875]

Works great on cheap yarn ,like acrylic. Isn't going to work on my silk and wool blend. The weight spins and twists until the yarn breaks, and the hooks are getting full of static, so they don't open and close when they should. Very frustrated since none of the ideas I have been working on are going to work.About ready to send it flying across the front yard, but taking a break instead.

[@americanknitter]

Sorry you're having trouble, but that's good to know. Thanks for letting us know. If you figure out a solution let us know.

[@McKennaOlhasque]

Hi guys - I had trouble with natural fibres as well, but a little spritz of Static Guard on the hooks (not the yarn) worked very well. HTH.

[@ksisu1324]

Tom Schmitz Rub the metal with a dryer sheet (ie Bounce or Downey). That has helped the hooks not stick from static for me.

[@ksisu1324]

americanknitter A good fix from the production end would be to use non magnetic stainless steel.

[@ksisu1324]

americanknitter Austenitic Stainless Steel is non-magnetic

[@Evie-vv8bk]

Is there an easy efficient way to join a new colour in without stopping? So that I can get a striped/multi-coloured cord.

[@kavitabhise5556]

Very useful how much price that machine

[@devyanijain3895]

can you let me know if hooks needs to be off at all times ? or do they close and open during the process?

[@uniquetintin]

❤thank you! Great help!

[@melebev1]

I'm having a hard time using this is baby yarn the best weight to use with it I used to have a knitter like this years ago but never had the trouble im having now.

[@raquelscarella]

Por favor indique alguma loja onde poderemos comprar essa máquina.Obrigada

[@ladybug1822]

Works great but how do on you keep the plastic clear?

[@mandyb2991]

I have had this for years and just found it again. It is sticking as I turn the handle. How do you clean it or get it from stop sticking?

[@rachelphil462]

What sort of yarn do you use please as i can't get mine to go more then a couple of times and i end up in a mess😢

[@winningnumbers]

What happens when one of those needles/hooks breaks? Are there replacements or does the whole thing just become useless?

[@denise4646crn50]

please tell me what you can make with this, is this like finishing a quilt

[@ThePoppyProject-byHonourOurTro]

Great, thank you just got one and you make perfect sense. Cheers

[@solisperla97]

Love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@kerrybourin2785]

Can you use this as rope. Does anyone know of a sturdy product that is strong enough to use too make rope strong enough for sailing and/or boating? I like this video because it was simple , quick & easy to learn from instruction!

[@RIODJENIRO1]

Kerry Bourin I would not use this, unless you might try a thin Jute, but, it still may be too thick for it. I know Michael's Craft store carries some Jute and you might want to try your local hardware store like Lowe's, Ace or Home Depot..

[@lalune59]

Have you a video to use this with beads?¿

[@jillmoffitt5218]

Very helpful! Thanks!

[@rosiwohrle2968]

sehr Sehr Schön das Video von dir

[@wendypenrod2559]

Just got one. Keeps dropping stitches. What am I doing wrong? Using 3weight yarn.

[@MikeG-js1jt]

Would this work with a heavy thread as opposed to yarn?

[@kalpnachauhan5702]

Very innovative .how can I get one as I would like to try one

[@americanknitter]

Here is a link to buy one: www.americanknitter.com/?page_id=196

Thanks so much!

Any link for the product?

[@bellacottobella8284]

Where do you buy this please ? I can’t see the link !

[@sunainasunaina6476]

Yes would like to buy

[@Sacha_B]

Thank you so much

[@chyndb]

i bought this today got it home used the small amount that comes with it and as soon as I used my own yarn it broke went to see if I could return/exchange it they told me it would be at least three weeks before another one comes in im kinda pissed I owned it for less then two hours before it broke and most of that time was spent driving home

[@RIODJENIRO1]

chyndb what size yarn did you use?? I read on some reviews on HSN from people saying you have to use 4 medium weight or smaller....

[@mightymoeexcavating754]

Right spot🤔🤔🤔 support from Canada ❤️❤️💪💪💪👍👉👉👉👉👉❤️I think that might be a Chinese nok off😂😂

[@LottieSue]

Do you have any tutorials on making practical things with the cord?

[@kandisharmon1782]

+LindieLee google giants knits. you can easily use this size icord on a size 15-17 set of needles to make everything from thick afghans to rugs and pillows and even quick knit chunky hats. I knit larger i-cor with heavier yarn on double pointed needles but for about sport weight or lighter tightly spun yarn this machine is great at hipping out tons of icord. You just have to keep moving the weight up the icord so that it doesn't drag on the ground or a table while you're cranking away. I use a russian join on my yarn so I can continue uninterrupted with the same color. Good luck to you and I hope you find lots of projects for your icord :)

[@LottieSue]

I use a loom. But yes will check it out!

[@rosie01ism]

thanks for sharing,shared on facebook.

[@miriamh6136]

Hi there Would this work with fine jewellery wire? many thanks

[@reemraafat5347]

Did you try it?

[@taranagnew436]

what do you use the cord it makes for?

[@draco_is_my_husband_9753]

You can turn it in to anything I turned mine into a blanket

[@tatianekoga4340]

adorei....envia para o Brasil ???

[@maureenmaloney3092]

Can anyone tell me how thick a cord this makes? I am using Lily Sugars n' Cream Cotton yarn, and was thinking I could use this rather than chain crocheting, with my arthritis, for cord.

[@MC-kj8uy]

It has 4 needles on it; the thickness of the cord will depend on what yarn/thread you use. Honestly though - I'm not sure it will work with Sugar & Cream; knitting machines (which is what this is) don't tend to like worsted weight cotton. I have used embroidery floss, #10 crochet cotton, and cotton warp thread without any trouble (just as a test); they all worked fine and I think maybe #3 cotton yarn would work too. Sugar & Cream is a 4; that's borderline for this machine but the bigger problem is, cotton isn't slippery; thinner cottons don't have to be slippery but thicker ones, like Sugar & Cream, will have problems. If you get one of these you can try a #4 with extra weights on the bottom, or try a thinner yarn.

W tutorial

[@kandyromero3681]

Thank you very helpful.. :)

[@Silverdale15]

It was bunching outside of the hole eventually I gave up too stressful I'll go back to my prym acrylic dolly thanx 😂😂😂😂

I am looking for one that I can do doll socks on. Help?

[@dool2]

Wow. that's a friendly video. I'm going to embedded data(Many people so that can be understand.). I can't speak english well. T.T sorry. Thank you.

[@americanknitter]

Thank you. Are you Korean?

[@dool2]

Yes, I am Korean. Sorry for late reply. ;(

[@ronniedp3]

Is it possible to use wire with this? Has anybody every tried it with 1mm soft wire?

[@carlywalker8650]

Hi can you please record a yarn to purchase for use with this? Everyone I have tried doesn’t come off the hooks properly and I only get so far before it all bunches up and double loops and have to cut and start again! Lol xx

[@gbproductions734]

what do you use the "cord" for? What projects?

[@irmar]

A & G Productions You can use it as shoe laces, freehand decoration on fabrics (forming designs which you can then stitch on the fabric), curtain holders, cord for sports pants and hoodies. You can crochet or knit with it, to make bags, baskets. You can weave baskets. You can braid three or four of these together to make a belt, or bag handles, or bracelets.

[@RIODJENIRO1]

irmar and don't forget rugs!! I plan on purchasing this and using it on the purses I knit and crochet, as well as my sweaters for piping embellishments...

[@irmar]

Rio DJeNIRO Sure you could make rugs, but from what people say it only works with medium-thin yarn, so I'd first braid three cords together to make a bigger cord before using it for a rug, otherwise it would take forever.

[@kellietinsley4928]

A & G Productions I use the cords for jewelry. My 5 year old doesn't like metal jewelry because it's often cold and the wrong chain will pinch her skin or hairs, there's no pinching with knit jewelry.

[@MrWhyareyouhere]

thanks

[@LindaPenney]

I have four needle 2 with and two without

[@brigittejohnson1353]

Seems like the old wooden thread spool with 4 nails in the top worked better.

[@leticiagarcia2159]

Does it work with medium 4 yarn?

[@MC-kj8uy]

Maybe! Mine has had no trouble with Caron's Simply Soft, which is kind of light for a 4, but it struggles with some of the thicker/regular size 4s. I did just read a suggestion on another site to add extra weights for size 4 yarns so I'm going to try that.

[@marionosullivan834]

Why can't I get this posted to Ireland?

[@pabloricardodetarragon2649]

+marion o sullivan There are plenty in UK and EU made by Prym. Around 20 Euros.

[@johnwilson9519]

can not get it to work with regular acrylic yarn. I'm pretty pissed. tried so many times. had to keep cutting it out

[@qltygrl3187]

John Wilson I’m having the same issues. I even tried baby yarn and still can’t get it to work.

[@ellis900]

Has any one had any luck with thin jute or hemp?

[@ivy95666]

I must've gotten a faulty machine

[@حبيبيالغالي-ش9ض]

كيف يمكنني الحصول عليه ارجو الرد

[@satsumamoon]

This is a great little product, albeit a bit overpriced for such a litle plasticky kiddies type thing. I dont know why you dont make one which takes thicker yarn and another which has eight hooks to make wider cords

[@il89876]

what can you make this?

[@cometmoon]

You can make numerous items with this. Examples: shoe strings, purse/bag handles, pet leashes, etc. There should be some videos on KZbin to help with those details.
