How to Cast on Using the E-Wrap Method:
Written by Graciela Worth © August 20, 2007

Make a slip Knot and place it on the first peg, move the yarn to the back, and go around the first pin:

Move the yarn to the front to go around the second peg, and e-wrap the second peg.

Again go to the back pin, the second one, placing the yarn around the second pin, go to the 3rd. peg and e-wrap it. Continue like this for the amount of pegs, you want to cast on.  To turn around: move the yarn to the front peg, last one that you e-wrapped, then move the yarn behind the second pin, move the yarn to the front of the second peg, and e-wrap the second peg.

Continue until all pegs have been e-wrapped.

Continue this process for your basic e-wrap stitch.

Here is some information on how our modular adjustable gauge looms work.  Please visit the tutorials page for more information and other great downloads.  On the modular looms the pin board will always have the smaller edge closest to the pegs.

Look at the 2 pieces, and you will see one board has pegs, the ones with the inverted u shape; the other board has pins, or rods. The pins and pegs are not on the center of the boards.  By assembling the boards facing a different way we will obtain 2 basic gauges.
 

If we assemble it, with the 2 sides with the smallest edges facing each other, we obtain gauge 1:
This gauge works great with light weight yarns.

By assembling the larger peg edge against the smaller pin edge we obtain the second setting:
Gauge 2 works good with medium weight yarn, like Red Heart medium.

Adding washers between the 2 boards, on any one of the settings, will give another gauge.

 So, get your yarn, play around and find the gauge that suits your needs.
