Stitches

Knit Stitch/U-Wrap on the Modular Looms - forms the traditional v-shaped knit stitch.  Tighter stitch then the e-wrap, a little looser then the traditional knit stitch (aka - reverse purl).  Allows for the continuous knit stitch when used on the Kiss Looms - in other words - you can knit the entire row before knitting off.

Knit Stitch/U-Wrap on the Regular 2 Way Adjustable - forms the traditional v-shaped knit stitch.  Tighter stitch then the e-wrap, a little looser then the traditional knit stitch (aka - reverse purl).  Allows for the continuous knit stitch when used on the Kiss Looms - in other words - you can knit the entire row before knitting off.

Purl Stitch - forms the traditional horizontal purl bump on the front side of your knitting.  There are 3 purling videos in this series. The first one has more instruction but #2 has some very helpful camera angles and #3 will cover the continuous purl stitch.  I encourage you to watch all three so as to get really comfortable with purling.

Introducing the new Kiss Loom Lap Stand!  The perfect addition to your knitting loom collection. 

The stand holds your loom so that you have both hands free to hold your yarn and pick.  Just knit the side facing you then lift the loom up and turn!  The square part tilts forward and backward to give you the ability to set it to your most comfortable knitting position. The stand is especially good for those with physical limitations that may need extra help holding the loom so that they can knit.

There is 13 3/4" between the legs at the smallest setting and approximately 22" at the widest setting. The stand sits 11" high (measured from the bottom of the legs to the bottom of the dowel rod).  If you are interested in a wider or taller stand please email us, we'd be happy to accomodate your needs.

We have put together a complete list of what looms will work on the stand and which ones will not so that you can know if your looms will fit.  To see the list - click here.  For assembly instructions - click here.

What makes a Kiss Loom different?

Kiss Looms are the only true gauge adjustable loom on the market.  We use a peg and pin system to make it adjustable.  Pegs are on one board and pins on another - you simply add washers between the boards to make the gauge larger.  You can knit with no washers for the smallest gauge or add up to the 7 included washers to equal the KK gauge.  The great thing about the pins is that they have a side effect of making nice even stitches and you can wrap the whole row with a u-wrap stitch before knitting off.

So why the pins?

We get this question all the time!  Here is a brief overview that will help you understand.

To wrap a Kiss Loom you always wrap in front of the peg and behind the pin. The pins are what adjust the gauge. The further the pins are from the pegs (by adding washers between the boards) the more yarn is allowed for the stitch - making the gauge bigger. It's like on a KK if you could move the pegs closer or further from each other - the pin just does that in a different direction. It makes the knitting quick and easy and creates a very evenly knit fabric.

What is a U-Wrap?

A u-wrap is a knit stitch that forms the traditional v-shaped stitches of a stockinette fabric (all knit stitches).  The difference is that with the pin system you can wrap the entire row then knit off.  This is similar to the technique of the e-wrap on the KK's EXCEPT that you get the nice v-shaped stitch.  An e-wrap is also called a twisted knit stitch because it is literally twisted.  It forms a y-shaped stitch.

Loomers always have a lot of questions about our looms and how they work.  We hope to answer some of your questions here.

What makes the Kiss Looms unique is that they have an adjustable gauge. 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. This first Kiss Loom, a 20 peg board, was tested by Graciela Worth and the first project was the three sweaters above. All 3 were done on the same number of pegs using the 3 gauge settings on the loom.

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.

General Overview of the Modular Loom

A modular loom also has the gauge adjustable feature as most of our looms but is a fixed number of pegs for knitting in the round.  The great thing about the modular looms is that you can build a larger loom using the straight and corner brackets.  Simply attach the modulars together into any number of pegs you need whether you are knitting a flat panel or knitting in the round.  Want to knit a king size blanket in one panel?  This is the loom for you.  The smallest tube you can knit is a 24 peg (based on the 6 peg modular set of 4 6-peg sides).

General Overview of the 2-Way Adjustable Loom

The looms are adjustable in 2 different ways.  One way is the adjustable gauge by adding or subtracting washers.  The other way it is adjustable is by number of pegs to knit in the round.  Our end pieces, whether a single peg slider or the larger ends can be be moved back and forth across the sides to change the number of pegs to knit.  With the 1 peg sliders you can move it all the way down to one end to knit a 4 peg i-cord in the round. 

General Overview of the Fixed Looms

The fixed looms are the only ones that are not gauge adjustable.  In order to get the small gauge needed for sock yarns the pegs and pins must be on the same board.  Remember, the pin system is what makes for a nice even stitch and allows you to wrap the whole row before knitting off.  There are two types of fixed looms - fixed 1 and fixed 2.  The fixed 1 is the smallest gauge you can get on a Kiss Loom.  The fixed 2 is a slightly larger gauge and bridges the gap between the fixed 1 and small gauge looms. 

General Overview of the Straight Loom

The straight loom was the original Kiss Loom.  It is made to be used as a single rake or you can add the optional board and remove the pin board to use the loom as a double rake for double knit fabric.  This loom is not compatible with the modular or 2-way adjustable looms. 

Does my loom come with hardware to adjust size and gauge? - Each of our looms comes with nylon washers (7 for each bolt) for gauge adjustment.  The modular sets also come with corner brackets to attach the looms in a square for tubular knitting.  Modular pairs do not come with any brackets (you will need at least 2 packages of straight bracket pairs to add the pairs to a set).  The pictures below shows the two different types of metal brackets used in the modular looms, the straight L shaped brackets for the straight pieces and the "split" corner brackets to attach the corners of the loom.  Check out the assembly instructions on the tutorials page for more information. 

What is the smallest gauge I can achieve on the Kiss Loom? - Each knitter and each yarn used can affect the gauge of your knitted fabric.  A swatch should always be made to check gauge before starting a project.  The smallest gauge of loom is our extra fine gauge F0 loom.  You can achieve roughly 8 stitches per inch using sock weight yarn with this loom.  With our small gauge adjustable loom you can achieve 4.5 or 5 stitches per inch with a worsted weight yarn.

Can I use any pattern on a Kiss Loom? - Yes, knitting patterns, whether loom or needle, are not specific to the type of loom you are using.  Any pattern can be done on the Kiss Loom - just make sure you knit a swatch to check that you are setting the gauge correctly to the type of yarn you are using. 

Why isn't my loom fitting together right? - Make sure that you have assembled the loom in the proper order by following the assembly instructions. Do you have the same number of washers between each of the pin and peg boards? Are all the sides on the same setting (For mods - 1st setting, 2nd setting, or 3rd setting.)  Check out the assembly instructions on the tutorials page for more information.  If you are using end pairs your pins on the side and the end should line up at a 90 degree angle.  Regular Gauge slider placement.  Small Gauge slider placement.

I have lost some of my washers and/or screws. Where can I get new ones? - The washers are listed in the tools section of the website.  If you need screws please email us - This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

How do you keep the yarn from coming up and slipping off the back of the pins? - That can be remedied by holding your finger on the yarn behind the pin as you knit off or placing one rubber band around the entire side of the loom you are knitting off, but only on the pins.

How do I set up my end pairs on my loom? - The end pairs have a notch to insert the sides.  The end pair bolt can be tightened onto the side at any point along the length of the side.  Make sure to line up the pins on the side at a 90 degree angle with the pins on the ends regardless of number of washers used.

How do I set up the 1 peg slider on my loom? -  Regular Gauge slider placement.  Small Gauge slider placement.

Your design is incredible! I wasn't even able to knit on a KK loom. It was just too hard on my arthritic fingers. But with my F2, I have no pain at all no matter how long I knit. I haven't been able to knit for years and now I can again. I'm thrilled. I think it's been nearly ten years since I was able to knit so you can probably imagine how excited I am to have this in my life again. - Linda

You guys rock!  I received my loom and keychain today and I have been in heaven. Thank you so much!  The loom is awesome.  I have started a Christmas baby cocoon for the Pine Ridge baby project and it's coming out beautiful!  I love the small gauge.

Thank you again and again and again.  I've said it before and I will say it again, I will never use anything but Kiss ever again.  The product is exceptional and the people behind it are awesome!

...everything is easier and faster using the KISS. - Kendall 

Well guess who was waiting at my door when I got home from work!  That's right, Lil Slim.  I threw dinner in the oven, took care of my mother and starting getting to know him.  I AM IN LOVE!  Geesh, I wish I would have started out with KISS when I was learning.  I wasted so much money on looms that I will not use anymore.  I absolutely love the KISS. - Kendall

I am so in love with my new Kiss loom! I have a couple projects that are almost complete and will post pics soon. So far I have used my Small Gauge Compact Slim 2-Way Adjustable as a double knitting board and a one sided rake. The ability to do a smaller guage has been amazing and I can't wait to do more projects on this loom. Thanks for offering such a versatile product! I may be ordering a second one very soon so that I can have more than one WIP lol!  -- Kim Jones

I'm Julia and a loom knitter for about 5 years. I have used looms like the KK, Markman Farms, DA, and CinWood, and it looks like I saved the best for last. I had seen the KISS loom website a few years ago but didn't think I would be able to use it. However, when I received my first KISS loom a couple months ago, to my surprise, I started a hat in the afternoon and finished it that evening with no problem. Then, I did have some of the minor problems that most beginners have, like multiple loops on a pin preventing fabric to flow. But now I think I've gotten through the learning curve and am ready for more challenging projects. --Julia

It's not my skill, it's the loom - sometimes I like to just sit and look at the fabric that comes out. It is so beautiful! The stitches are so even. The ribbing is so nice too. I've been needle knitting for almost 50 years and I can't do anything that nice. It's amazing. I just love to look at the texture, the consistency ... it's just so pretty. -- Kathi

I always get excited when I talk about the Kiss-Looms made by Cliff because they are a work of art and produce extraordinary pieces. I have been using the Kiss-Looms for a little over a year now and have several modular looms, the sock loom and now several of the 2wayadj looms. Out of the many looms I have the Kiss is my favorite. I have never been able to knit ‘properly’ with two needles so I gave up trying many years ago. When I found looms on the Internet, they worked OK but still seemed like something was missing. It still didn’t quite feel or look quite like “hand knitting”. I had some hand spun yarn that I made and wanted to knit gifts for family and friends with it. Then I found The Kiss-Looms. WOW!! Everything I wanted and more. -- Andrea Kump-Eicher, Central Florida

My favorite knitting looms are Kiss adjustable knitting looms. I like these looms because they are adjustable and you don't have to buy different looms to get different gauges.  They are well made and very versatile.  Also Cliff and Graciela who is involved in the Kiss loom group are very happy and fast about answering any questions you have. -- Karol, Michigan

_____________________________________________________________________

I love my KISS Looms. They are the most versatile looms I have found. Since I got my KISS loom I haven’t used another loom. Compared to other brands the wrapping and knitting off are much faster and easier. Being able to work with different weight yarns on the same loom is great. The looms are easy to assemble. When you purchase a KISS you always get fast, excellent service. –- Angela

_____________________________________________________________________

I love my Kiss Looms! There is nothing like them. They are so versatile and useful, that even though I own several different brands of looms, I usually have my projects on my Kiss Looms. I mean, having a Kiss Loom is like having a whole set of interchangeable knitting needles at your fingertips. And since I can use the continuous u-stitch and the continuous purl stitch, I find myself finishing projects much faster than using a regular peg loom. The resulting fabric's stitches are much more even, as well. The design helps you maintain a consistent tension. These are a MUST for any loom knitter! -- Robin McCoy

In 2007 Cliff Roush picked up his first Knifty Knitter loom and started learning how to knit.  He soon began searching the Internet for more information and joined several of the yahoo groups dedicated to loom knitting.  His inquisitive mind kept thinking there was a better way to change gauge then by using several different looms with different peg spacing.  He came up with the idea of adding a pin to change the gauge rather than spacing the pegs further apart.  The idea behind the Kiss Loom is that gauge is changed by adjusting the length of the traveling yarn between pegs.  The movement of the pin board allows you to increase and decrease this length...changing the gauge of your knitted fabric. 

Soon Cliff was buying wood and the first Kiss Loom was born in August 2007 using nails and wooden boards, and then soon was upgraded to the brass pegs and pins used in the looms today. 

In July 2009 Kelly Jones became involved in the business through the construction of a new website. After seeing and testing the product she became a believer that Kiss Looms are the best looms on the market. As time went on Kelly became more and more involved in the business beyond the website, writing patterns, answering questions, teaching online and at a local retreat.

After some health concerns in early 2010 Cliff and Kelly formulated a plan for the business when Cliff would not be able to make the looms. At this time Bill Guthridge, Kelly's father, was brought into the business. In August 2010 Kelly's family and parents went to Oklahoma to visit with Cliff and talk about the business and loom making. Bill spent the next year or so learning how to make the looms and getting his own Kiss Loom shop set up.

For the past year (2012) Kiss Looms has been in a state of transition with some of the looms being made by Cliff and some by Bill. We feel that we have achieved a seamless transition in quality and production time.

Serious health problems in Nov 2012 made Cliff go ahead and turn the loom making over to Kelly and Bill. He sent along this message:

“I know the business is in good hands. I appreciate how the last 5 years have gone and the many great friends I have made.” - Cliff 2012

We are sad to let you know that Cliff passed away on Christmas Eve 2012.  He will be greatly missed by his family, the loom knitting community and the many that called him a dear friend.  Kelly is now fully running Kiss Looms along with her dad Bill. We would like to thank you for your great support of Kiss Looms over these past 5 1/2 years.

We feel we have a great product and will make sure it continues into the next generation of loomers. We plan to keep making the same high quality looms as before. Kelly will stock the looms in IL and ship the orders as they come in. Out of stock items will be shipped as soon as possible. Usually within a week. We still have several new products that Cliff has been developing in the works and hope that we can bring those out as they are completed.

We look forward to working with you and continuing to make Kiss Looms a great success.

I want to thank you for your interest in kiss looms. If you would like more info or have any questions you may email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..  We hope you enjoy your Kiss Looms.

Biographies

  Kelly Jones 

Kelly has been loom knitting since 2007. She started on the Knifty Knitter round looms and advanced into a double knitting board soon after. Kelly was delighted to be contacted by Cliff in 2009 and very excited to try out the Kiss Looms. She believes that “once you have a Kiss in your hands you'll never go back!”.

Kelly held a loom knitting retreat in 2010 in her home town where she got to meet Cliff in person. She has taught loom knitting at the local college in the continuing education department as well as several private lessons.

In 2011 Cliff and Kelly set up at a fiber festival in Indiana. In 2012 they were vendors at fiber festivals in Indiana and Oklahoma where Kelly taught classes. Kelly is a big part of the online looming community as well. She helps run the LoomClass, LoomersBreakroom, and Kiss yahoo groups. She lives in Illinois with her two beautiful children and a husband who is the love of her life.

Bill & Donna Guthridge

Bill has been a woodworking hobbyist for many years. Now that he is retired from being a construction and mining equipment mechanic, he was looking forward to spending more time with woodworking.

In 2010 when Cliff and Kelly (Bill’s daughter) asked him to consider being a part of the Kiss loom family, he was delighted and made a trip from Indiana to Oklahoma to meet Cliff and learn the business of making looms.

With advice from Cliff and Kelly, Bill and his wife Donna set up a loom building workshop and since 2011 have been making looms to share the load with Cliff.
