The looms work just like a circular knitting needle, except the stitches are held on individual pegs instead of the one needle. Hand looms slow me down, but it was much easier to teach kids to loom knit than to knit with needles or to crochet.

I remember using an empty thread spool with little nails pounded in one end to weave a long rope of crochet thread. I was just a little girl then. I probably still have it somewhere, but don't remember how to do it any more.
There are lots of videos about spool knitting:
By now I should think of youtube right away, but I still don't. Thanks for the suggestion!
I make cord the same way, but often find it faster to make it on 2 double-pointed needles--knitting it that way is called I-cord.
Oh boy, I've never heard of double-pointed needles! There is much I still don't know about knitting!
They are used in groups of 4 or 5 to knit tubes, in the same way as a circular needle. This post has some pictures: https://hive.blog/hive-127911/@fiberfrau/slow-and-steady-socks
