{"product_id":"telar-en-forma-de-8-extra-largo-garmon","title":"Garmon Extra-Long Figure-of-Eight Knitting Loom with 138 Pegs","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the extra-long figure-of-eight knitting loom and what is it used for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a plastic peg knitting loom designed for large projects such as blankets, ponchos and bedspreads. Its figure-of-eight shape allows an exceptionally long knitting path to fit into just 61 × 25 cm, making it comfortable to use. The loom hook is used to lift the lower loop over each peg, allowing the knitted fabric to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knitting loom has 138 pegs. You may also find it referred to as a Super 8 loom, infinity loom or endless loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat size pieces can you knit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can knit pieces up to 270 cm wide, making it ideal for blankets, ponchos and bedspreads. This is the main advantage of this large knitting loom: with 138 pegs, it allows you to tackle projects that would not fit on a standard-sized straight loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does it differ from a straight knitting loom?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA straight peg loom is usually around 64 cm long, as anything longer would be awkward to handle. This extra-long loom is equivalent to a 135 cm straight loom, but its figure-of-eight shape means it measures just 61 × 25 cm. You get the capacity of an enormous straight loom in a manageable size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works like an extra-long rectangular loom folded into a figure of eight: the same knitting technique using pegs and a loom hook, without needing an exceptionally long structure on your table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCan you knit flat and in the round with this loom?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. You can knit flat, working back and forth to create open pieces, or knit in the round, working continuously around the pegs to form a tube. Both techniques can be used with the same loom, so you can choose according to what you want to make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth flat and tubular knitting use the same loom hook. Only the path the yarn follows around the pegs changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat yarn can you use with this peg loom?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knitting loom is suitable for yarns of any standard weight, up to Bulky (Chunky) and Super Bulky (Super Chunky). It is not suitable for Jumbo (extra-thick) yarn. Before starting, check the yarn weight on your ball label and make sure it does not exceed Super Bulky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat can you make with a large plastic knitting loom?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can knit blankets, ponchos, large bedspreads and smaller projects too. Although it is not ideal for smaller projects, you can also make scarves, shawls, cushions and bags. Among plastic knitting looms, this one is designed for large pieces: it can produce fabric up to 295 cm wide when knitting flat or 135 cm when knitting in the round. You can choose between flat and tubular knitting depending on your project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can make:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e▷ Blankets and bedspreads: This loom is suitable for knitting large blankets, either flat or in the round for smaller, double-layered blankets that offer extra comfort.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e▷ Ponchos: This loom is suitable for knitting ponchos and other wide pieces, using chunky or finer yarns, entirely according to your preference.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e▷ Scarves and shawls: You can also use this loom to knit scarves and shawls, although its main strength lies in larger projects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e▷ Cushions and bags: Create flat knitted fabric using only part of the loom, then join the pieces together with a darning needle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you would like to compare other tools, you can find more options in our \u003ca title=\"View the collection of knitting looms and pom-pom makers\" href=\"https:\/\/www.garmonyarns.com\/en\/collections\/looms-pom-pom-makers-and-knitting-mill\"\u003eknitting looms and pom-pom makers\u003c\/a\u003e collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is included with the extra-long figure-of-eight knitting loom?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt includes 1 loom hook and 2 plastic darning needles, whether you choose the blue or pink version.
