We are so glad you are interested in finding out more about the Kiss Looms! We welcome you to join our yahoo group and our weekly Sat night chat to ask questions and learn more about the wonderful world of loom knitting.

For more detailed information on each of our looms take a look at this pdf.

Take a look at this video on how to adjust the gauge of your loom and also read below for more information.

We know the Kiss Looms are very different from other looms on the market, so we want to take this opportunity to help explain them so that you will know what loom is best for you.

First let's talk about what makes our looms different. Most of our looms (excluding the fine gauge fixed looms and the double rakes) are gauge adjustable. In other words – by using the included washers you can set your loom up so that you can knit in several different gauges!

It has long been thought that the only way to change the gauge of a single side loom was to change the spacing of the pegs. The Kiss loom has changed that! The gauge of a loom should only be referred to by the stitches it produces, not by how it is made. Gauge should be referenced by the number of stitches and rows per inch on the knitted fabric.

Our looms were designed with the Kiss principal in mind. Keep it simple! Our looms allow you to change your gauge for any project, while still using the same loom.

Gauge is set by changing how much yarn is used for each stitch. With regular looms this is done by changing the distance between pegs. The Kiss Loom starts out with a small gauge then uses gauge pins to increase the distance the yarn travels between pegs.  The gauge is determined by this traveling yarn and by changing the settings on our looms you increase the amount of traveling yarn - and therefore change the knitted gauge. 

There are 3 basic settings that can be obtained just by changing the way the boards are assembled. Anything between the basic settings can be obtained using the supplied washers. The screws, nuts, and washers are made of industrial grade nylon. They are smooth, and lightweight. The screw heads have a large slot so a coin can be used as a screw driver.

You can see from this chart the ave number of stitches per 1" that you can get by changing the peg style of the loom or simply by changing the number of washers between the boards.

With the modular system You can have a lot of different size 'round looms' with just a few modules. All the modules will connect end to end or connect in a 90 degree angle. Modules of 15 pegs or larger come with hardware to use them as a double rake.

All orders come with a small handle pick and a small handle purling tool. All loom orders come with printed instructions except the 24 peg Introductory loom.

Kiss Looms started with the regular straight or rake looms. They consist of a peg board and a pin board and have washers to place in between the boards to adjust gauge.

Added next is the regular modular looms. They consist of a peg board and a pin board and have washers to place in between the boards to adjust gauge. Also with the modular pieces there are corner brackets to make the loom into a loom suitable for knitting in the round. Hardware is also available to connect two straight modular’s together to make a longer straight loom or larger round loom.

Next came the regular two way adjustable loom. This loom is fully adjustable as to gauge and the number of pegs you use. It can knit in the round on as few as 14 pegs.

The fine gauge looms are a fixed gauge that is adjustable to the size tube you can knit. These looms have the pegs and pins on the same board. Washers are not needed since they are a non-adjustable gauge loom. You can knit in the round from infant size all the way to adult sock sizes on them.  We have labeled them fixed 1 and fixed 2, with fixed 1 being the smallest gauge.  Both come in a short version (approx 5") and an 11" version.

The compact loom is different in that the pegs are turned a quarter turn on the board enabling the loom to be smaller but with just as much adjustability as the regular looms.
The compact is available in straight, modular and 2 way adjustable looms. They are not interchangeable with the regular modulars and the regular two way adjustable looms.

The Slim looms come in regular and compact. They are very light weight and are fully adjustable as to gauge and number of pegs to knit on.
