When to choose it

Choose the Original when your sock pattern is written for this model and uses lighter yarn. Move the slider to the required peg count and tighten it before casting on. The adjustment lets you use the same frame for more than one circumference.

The packaging identifies this version as fine gauge, and the listing recommends DK or thinner yarn. Knitting Board’s descriptions give different numerical spacing for the Original, so check the exact instructions or measure your own loom when a pattern needs a precise spacing. For a worsted-weight project written for 3/8 inch, compare the Sock Loom 2.

Questions about this product

What does moving the slider change?

It changes the working path around the sock. Knit the number of rows and heel or toe shaping your pattern specifies for the length.

Which model should I choose if the pattern says Sock Loom 2?

Compare that model first. The Original is the fine-gauge version and the Sock Loom 2 specifies a different setup with worsted yarn.

Where should I measure the peg spacing on a loom I own?

Measure from the center of one peg to the center of its neighbor along the working row. Compare that value and the swatch with your pattern.
