White bulk size yarn is needed for a simple afghan? And about how much yarn do you need?

I used Lion Brand Homespun (weight 5 yarn) for a large blanket measuring roughly 48 inches wide and close to 6 feet long. I think I used 9 skeins of that yarn and it has 185 yards per skien in the solid colors. I have found that the Lion Brand website has the best patterns for afghans and it gives you an idea of how much yarn to use.

I cast-on, then alternate e-wrap and purl for the entire afghan. No curling edges.

how much yarn do I need

Depends on the type you use but for example using Lion Brand Homespun it took 7 skeins to make a twin size afghan.

It includes the knitting board and the loom hook plus an instruction booklet with a couple patterns.

Perfect for blanket making. Very sturdy and the pegs are easy to take the yarn over. A good product.

Easy to use

I saw someone using this on YouTube and wanted to try one. It was more expensive then I liked but is very sturdy. It’s like french knitting but on a much larger scale. It comes with a hook and reasonable easy to follow instructions. Hoping one day to finish my blanket!

Not in advertised box but overall good

Loom is very sturdy and good quality. I haven’t used it yet as I am finishing a knitting project first. The reason for not giving a 5 star review is that is doesn’t come in the box as advertised so I am going to have to be really careful with storage when it’s not in use

Love it.

I’m finding this hard to hold so when it gets longer the heavier it will be. But I’ve made a holder for it and it’s much easier to use now. Still a little struggle. But I will keep on doing it to see if it does get better. But I love doing different things so this is a challenge. Came really fast too.

Brilliant loom

When I first saw the loom it felt intimidating as I’m new to looming. I didn’t need to worry I love it easy to use once you start

Delivered Earlier Than Expected

The knitting board afghan loom is very sturdy all plastic, lightweight and small gauge. Arrived earlier than expected and would definitely buy from sew and so again.

Ottimo prodotto.. Subito un po' difficile da maneggiare xké per quanto piccolo possa essere è un po' laborioso da usare, ma una volta imparato il modo va benissimo.. Anche il materiale è buono secondo me.. Lo consiglio..
