Yarn and Books

[emsmom]

Hi everyone

I am very new to loom knitting (was never able to knit w/needles). I was just wondering what your favorite brand of year is and what is the softest? Also, is there any type of yarn that can't be used on looms?

What book about loom knitting would you say is the best for a beginner? I did order the Loom Knitting Primer book by Isela Phelps?

Do you have any favorite YouTube videos?

Thanks so much!

I am new to this also. I have found so many patterns and how to vids online. What are you trying to knit? Hats, socks, stuffed toys, afagans?
