There might be a serious problem with the looms having just 96 pegs - if that means that there can be only 96 stitches then socks for adults can only be made in thick yarn, or in two pieces perhaps, if the knitting can be done flat without breaking the pegs.
Using double pointed needles and ordinary knitting gives so many more options for patterning, sizing and thickness of yarn.
If using the advertised 'fine' gauge of 9 st to the inch then the maximum circumference is 10 and 2/3inches.
I usually work at 10 st to the inch.
