Loom Knitting - How to add new skein or change colors on a blanket or flat panel project.

Loom Knitting - Adding a new skein or a new color yarn If adding a new color, do it exactly the same way. Do all color changes at the end of “purl” rows of your garter stitch. After tying your knot, you will do the U-knit with the new color. Then start next Ewrap row of your garter stitch! The chain stitches will look perfect!

Fantastic tip & video! Thank you ☺ 🧶

[@wwatro3902]

I’m working on my first loom blanket, thanks for the tip. Can you show or do you have a video of how you weave the ends into the blanket

[@lschue]

I do have a video here on youtube for Weaving in your ends. There is also a vido of how to make a blanket with Garter stitch borders.. on that one I show you the cast on… the borders.. as well as the bind off…

Hello 👋🏾 thank you for your videos . Is your loom 3/4 “ or 7/16 “ ? I’m trying to order one but I was not sure. Thank you in advance

[@lschue]

This one in the video is the 1/2” 144 peg loom… But since then CinDwood introduced the 7/16” 160 peg and that one is so much nicer for using #4 yarn. It is my new favorite loom! Also, these pegs on the loom on the video are the “old version peg” they now have beautiful tapered pegs that are just perfect! Check out this loom… if using #4 yarn this one is perfect. You can use #5 yarn as well. www.cindwoodlooms.com/products/preorder-7-16-160-peg-xl-22-round-afghan-loom?variant=41022273388699&ghref=4861%3A640412

[@kjakamura7678]

Looks great! I can tell you are an advanced knitter. I've loom knitting (for Christmas gifts) but my edge always curls. Do you have videos for beginner? I have loops and threads. And using #6 yarn. Anyway thank you for awesome technique!!

[@lschue]

Thnk you! If your talking about edges curling on blankets, then you need to do a border as you knit in order for it not to curl. I have not made a video on how to do it, but I highly recommend watching this youtube video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5bddnWmpM11nas

[@eloisapastrano5646]

Can I ask what pattern this is . I like it.

[@hopemorales5057]

Thanks so much!

[@lschue]

Thank you Hope!

[@ClaudiaJoy1]

I am thinking about buying a cindwood loom. I love making blankets and afghans which one would you recommend? Your videos are so clear and easy to understand. I love watching your videos and I have learned so much

[@lschue]

Thnk you so much! ❤ What weight of yarn do you like to use for blankets.. That will determine which loom gauge would be best for you. You can visit CinDwood and Look at the patterns they have and if you see one that you really like you can go from there. There are several free ones as well as paid. I used to use alot of #6 Blanket Yarn but more recently I’ve changed to #4 yarn.

[@lschue]

Feel free to mesaage me if you need or want more information!

[@ClaudiaJoy1]

Thank you for replying to my message I am currently using #6 yarn

[@lschue]

@@ClaudiaJoy1 Ok Great. With #6 yarn I recommend the 3/4” 96 Peg Afghan loom. It is wonderful. www.cindwoodlooms.com/products/3-4-96-pegs-xl-round-afghan-knitting-loom?_pos=1&_sid=147ff385e&_ss=r&ghref=4861%3A640412

[@SavedbyGrace22-o8k]

The tails that you have you just weave them end when you are done knitting the blanket?

[@lschue]

Yes I do have a video on how to weave in the ends too. They stay in pretty well.

[@rara7805]

Love the video, thanks for sharing. I loom a blanket, but the bottom keeps rolling up. How do I keep it from doing that while I'm looming? When I bind off what can I do to flatten it out?

[@lschue]

Thank you! The only way to stop the curl, is to do a garter stitch border. Are you ewrapping the entire blanket? It is very easy to do the garter stitch borders and it also helps to frame your blanket and make it have a “finished” look. Garter stitch is alternating 1 row ewrap, then 1 row purl for about 8 to 10 rows at beginning and end of your blanket. You must also use garter borders on both sides.. I usually use the first 5 pegs on each end. This is a great video on youtube that may help you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5bddnWmpM11nas

[@jacquelinepearce1330]

This is so helpful. How do you weave the leftover strand like you mentioned pls ?

[@lschue]

I always weave my ends in like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmGYqX6YhpVgiJI

[@jacquelinepearce1330]

Sorry another question … so you don’t weave the excess while it’s on the loom? You do it separate once it’s completely finished and off the loom?

[@lschue]

@@jacquelinepearce1330 No I do not weave in as I am going. I weave in when I am done. Watch the video with the blue & white yarn “Changing Colors”. I hide my knots in the border and then since the border is garter stitch it makes it easy to weave in the ends like she does on this video. These ends stay and they hide the weaved ends in well.

[@HeavenlyInspirations]

Can you please tell me what loom that is you are using? Thank you!

[@lschue]

Yes, It is a CinDwood 1/2” gauge with 144 pegs. It will make a 45”-48” panel using #4 yarn. Available here: www.cindwoodlooms.com/products/1-2-144-pegs-xl-round-afghan-knitting-loom?variant=35942423363739

[@debbiehowery4870]

What brand is that loom?

[@lschue]

This is a 1/2” 120 Peg CinDwood (pronounced Cindywood). I used to use this one for #4 yarns, but CinDwood recently introduced 7/16” gauge looms, and I now prefer to use that gauge with #4 yarn. Here is a link to their website. www.cindwoodlooms.com/

[@carolinegagne1850]

Where do you get those Loom the peg are closer

[@lschue]

I love these looms! Look for discount code on their website! www.cindwoodlooms.com/

[@lschue]

I actually design blanket patterns for CinDwood, and there are a few free ones available if your interested! www.cindwoodlooms.com/collections/laurie-schue-patterns
