What Length Loom Do You Need?
When choosing the right loom, one of the most important questions to ask is:
“What size blanket do I want to make?”
The length of the loom determines the finished width of your blanket. Whether you're knitting a cozy lap throw or a king-sized masterpiece, selecting the correct loom size will help ensure your blanket turns out just the way you want it.

Here’s a quick guide to help you match loom length to your desired blanket size:
What Blanket Width Do You Want?
Here’s a quick guide to help you match loom length to your desired blanket size:
| Loom Length | Approx. Blanket Width | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|
| 24" Loom | Up to 26" wide | Baby blankets, lap throws |
| 30"–36" Loom | Up to 38" wide | Small throws, single bed covers |
| 45"–46" Loom | Up to 48" wide | Standard throw blankets |
| 61"–64" Loom | Up to 68" wide | Queen-size blankets |
| 90"+ Loom | Up to 96" wide | King-size or oversized cozy throws |
How it Works
Loom length = finished blanket width. It’s that simple.
Your stitches run across the loom, so the longer the loom, the wider your blanket will be. If you're using thick yarn, like 2cm or 3cm jumbo yarn, you'll get even more width with fewer stitches.
