Wanted: Peg Loom & Wool Winder
« on: October 18, 2015, 06:37:31 pm »
I'm searching for a 70-90cm Peg loom (preferably with fine and large pegs ) and a wool winder if anyone has either for sale before I consider buying these new.
Thanks

Have you thought of making your peg loom yourself?  You can use a lovely piece of wood, drill the size of holes you want, chop up some dowel of the right size and Bob's your uncle  :D  I can't help with the wool winder, sorry....

Do you mean a centre pull ball winder.
I've got a Daruma Hometwister , it winds a ball and can ply.  Google it a see if it's what you want.
Make me an offer and pm your address. :)

I have thought about homemade (not myself as my brother is a joiner) but fancied a vintage/second hand one really. Could ask him to make me one but it'd take explaining to him unless I found a template/design to show him and him getting round to making one ????
have sent you a message Debbie.

I made a peg loom a few weeks ago, roughly following these instructions: https://craftingtogether.wordpress.com/2011/11/13/crafty-diy-1-how-to-make-a-peg-loom/
Pictures of the loom being built are here:

It took maybe an hour or two, very simple and I've got enough bits of wood left over to make another which I'll do again soon. Total cost was <£20 for wood and a countersink drill bit.
