What it does
- Prints ready to use so you can start knitting or learn the craft right away

- Compact design stores easily in a drawer or craft box between projects
You get a working knitting loom the moment your 3D printed French Knitter arrives. This simple tool spins your yarn into neat tubes without needing needles or complex skills. Kids love it because the results feel like magic, and grown-ups love teaching with it.
The French Knitter, also called a tricotin, uses just four pegs and a turning motion. Drop your yarn over the pegs, wind the handle, and watch your knitted cord grow. No previous experience needed. You can follow along with video tutorials to get started, then experiment with different yarn colors and weights to make scarves, headbands, or decorative cords.
This 3D design prints with all the features you need. The pegs grip your yarn firmly, the body holds steady in your lap, and the handle turns smooth and easy. Perfect for craft time, rainy days, or teaching someone a skill that has been around for over 100 years.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
