The present disclosure provides implants suitable for hernia or prolapse repair, the implants including an implantable web including a combination of laid yarns and threading yarns and optionally a substrate. Methods of making such implants are also provided.

A double hook knitting device comprising a handle having a top, opposing bottom, a knitting end and a butt end, the top and bottom extending between the knitting end and butt end. The knitting device further including at least two knitting hooks extending from the knitting end. The at least two knitting hooks are arranged coplanar to each other with each knitting hook including a curved portion. At least one notch is arranged on an underside of the at least two knitting hooks along or near the curved portion, the notch arranged to control, locate and retain yarn during a knitting process. The distance between the at least two knitting hooks is arranged to be coextensive with the distance between a set of grooves, each groove arranged on a peg of an adjoining set of pegs, said pegs arranged on a hand knitting loom.

A modular hand loom includes a plurality of links having pegs extending from the links. The plurality of links may be connectable with one another to form a plurality of loom configurations for knitting and/or weaving. When the plurality of links are assembled into a desired loom configuration, some links may be configured to remain rotatable relative to an adjacent link thereby causing the loom to be flexible during use.

A method of manually forming a knitted product by using the knitting yarn; and the knitted product obtained thereof are provided. The knitting yarn for manually forming the knitted product without tools includes a thread having a length dimension extending along an axis; a plurality of loops affixed to or formed with the thread by extending outwardly of the thread; and each of the plurality of loops defining an interior space adapted to receive another loop of the plurality of loops. The plurality of loops includes a first loop set mainly extending outwardly along +y axis and a second loop set extending along −y axis; and the first loop set is symmetric to the second loop set around a symmetry axis.

A swiveling hand loom includes a support base, a plurality of supports connected to the base and extending vertically to support a loom having a plurality of pegs thereon in elevated fashion. The base includes a swiveling mechanism permitting the loom to swivel relative to the support base which allows the knitter to work on his or her lap and not have to move the loom position.
