How to use the Embellish Knit Automatic Spool Loom

I'm going to show you how to use the embellish knit automatic spool loom, and if you want to buy one I'll put a link in the description below. The automatic spool loom allows you to create cords for projects. It does a pretty good job and it's very fast in comparison to a spool loom. To use the embellish knit you feed the yarn through the guide and down the center hole, on the other side you'll clip the weight, this part is necessary for the yarn to feed properly through.

Then you turn the handle allowing the first hook to grab the yarn, then you lift the yarn behind the second needle and allow it to be hooked onto the 3rd hook.

The latch on each hook always needs to be in the open or down position at this point, so if it's not, you'll have to open it, but once you get it going it should be automatic.

Then skip the fourth hook and allow the first hook to catch the loop again.

From this point continue turning the handle allowing the yarn to catch on every hook.

Getting this going is a little tricky, not difficult, it just takes some patience. You may need to tug slightly on the yarn that is coming out from underneath just slightly as you turn the handle, you want to make sure that as the hook raises to grab another loop of yarn that the previous loop slides off the peg. If you have a heavy weight yarn this won't work very well or at all. But with lighter weight yarns you can really get this thing going pretty fast, you just have to make sure the hook lets go of the loop before it grabs another one. You may have to give it a tug once in a while so it doesn't bunch up at the top of the tube. The only other thing you want to make sure is that there is no tension on the yarn that is being fed into the loom and that the weight is hanging freely so it can feed the yarn down the tube. Once you're done you just cut the yarn and let it finish weaving the handle. Then take a yarn needle and secure each loop so it doesn't come untangled just like you would on the normal spool loom.

It was really hard the first few times, but then I got it. Thank you so much

was looking up how to end off my corking after doing it the old fashioned way and had no clue something like this existed. I want one now.

Really helpful didn’t realize the casting on sequence was like that think I would never have worked it out thank you

Finally got it going. Don't use the yarn they send - too thick. I use it with crochet cotton thread to make handles for my string bags. I used to hate making 60 in of I cord - took me over an hour. With this little machine, less than 5 min.

Very clear video. Wish I'd watched it before I started playing with the loom.

Thank you! This tutorial really helped me (or, rather, my wife) get my cord knitting. I'm so pleased!

I finally got one in the mail today and just tried it out. I first made a tangled mess with some yarn I thought was the same the pkg came with. I had to cut it all out. I rewatched your video and used the sample yarn and it performed flawlessly. This will come in handy making rugs and such. Thank you.

Very much appreciate the step by step directions here. Following printed instructions can be difficult & confusing. THANK YOU.

[didgeridork]

thank you for this video! i was going nuts not being able to get this thing started, despite having the insructions in front of me. apparently the part about skipping the second needle and the fourth needle the first time around completely went over my head until i saw your video so thank you!

[alejandragcw]

Very short, but very helpful!!!! Thanks

[BuffaloCookiebaker]

Thank you! The printed instructions were not very clear, but your video explained the process very clearly.

[aquabluestar]

Thank you so much for your tutorial! This was very helpful. I watched a couple other videos before but they weren't very clear and I almost gave up trying to use the tool. Thanks!

Thank you! Your video was very helpful. I appreciated that it was concise and got to the point quickly. The written instructions that came with my Embellish Knit were pretty clear, but my yarn was not coming of the hook correctly. I couldn't understand why it wasn't working until watching your video. Thanks again.

[geeksdotbetter]

aha! no tension at all, on the yarn being fed in! that tip was exactly what i needed! ty!

[elizabethelliott]

This was so helpful! I had the pieces given to me by a friend and didn't know how to use it, your video was very informative! Thank you.

[aSquirrelAteMyGnome]

Very helpful. I've had one of these in my craft drawer for years and couldn't make sense of the instructions it came with.

[vanessamishellayalagalan]

Muchas gracias! Me sacó de apuros al usar mi tejedora!

[wayneschmidt]

Excellent demonstration! And thank you for using HD, it makes it much clearer.

[TearthyFlame]

Using this kind of knitting machine makes me feel like a kid!

[geolisadrag-racing]

thank you. Your video was far better than others i watched, they were all like part 1 & 2 they really overcomplicate & repeat themselves. I think people forget that its a video & that the viewer can hit pause, rewind & even rewatch as you mentioned. So everytime someone in a video goes "let me show you that again...& one more time..." I want to scream.  SO THANK YOU. I got these machines for my nieces they have gotten quite creative with the rubber band looms &  i wanted to expand their "looming". I'll include you video with them & I know they'll be good to go.
Do you have any videos on ideas for what to do with these cords once made? Thanks for quick easy instructions.

Thank you. Your explanation is far better than the other video I found. I managed to make it work.
