Loom Knit Ridged Cowl Reviewed by Katie DeCosse on 2012-12-06
I followed the instructions precisely, using the MS loom and MS yarn. Two skeins was just barely enough to finish the project and the fit is closer to that of a cervical collar vs. a cowl. Also, the pegs in the loom started popping out with use. I used the Lion Brand Youtube video as a resource and can now understand why they chose to NOT use the recommended MS Lofty Wool Blend yarn. I will try it again but with a different (and cheaper!) yarn.
