New Toy

By , September 15, 2008 11:29 pm
Let me introduce you to the latest addition to my fiber/yarn/textile paraphernalia collection, my shiny new Ashford Knitters Loom.

This bad boy warps in under a half hour and in just 2.5 more hours, you can have a cute little scarf for your very own. And that is while being distracted by TV reruns at the same time. Pretty impressive, I say.

There are so many great things about this loom. It comes with a 7.5 DPI heddle which is perfect for the fancy novelty yarns that are normally better for knitting. Also, it has minimal yarn wastage (compared to my 8 harness Macomber), which means this guy is perfect for using up Stash yarn. (Confession: These last two scarves were made from newly purchased yarn. Yes, I am ashamed.)

Even Frances approves. Sort of.
