Diy inkle loom

Hi everybody! I have been so inspired by the tutorials I have found on other weaver's blogs, most especially Laverne over at BackstrapWeaving. WOW. She weaves totally gorgeous things with very little in the way of equipment. If you haven't been to visit already please check it out. I can't get enough of her online tutorials and informative videos. I recently purchased her ebook on Andean Pebble Weave, and it's pretty rad! I CAN'T wait to make my first backstrap and get started! I really want…

Crochet Dynamite: Inkle Loom

On Friday my love reminded me that on Sunday we would be helping with a demo in town.. and that “people really like to see things being woven on a loom” and asked me to have a project ready for the demo. I needed something quick (so it would be warped up and ready-to-weave in less than a day), simple…Continue Reading→

This is the 4th incarnation of my loom. With the help of my brilliant son and husband, I gathered ideas for the warp roller and here it is! It works great so far and I'm loving how easy it is to move the warp forward. The back piece of PVC has holes drilled in it (I have my own drill press) and a chopstick is inserted in the holes (which are drilled across from each other) to move and hold the roller bar. The loom has "legs" to allow more room for rolled warp. This took many trips to Lowe's…

Good morning! I wanted to make an inke loom – or at least an inkle-ish loom. I read that inkles are narrow bands of fabric and I’m NOT going to end up with any of those, lol. Waste not,…

At an SCA event a couple of weekends ago, a lady was working on a really wonderful small loom: She was making this fantastic brocade-type trim, weaving a straight tabby with an overshot pattern. The results were fantastic, and small...

Last night it had to be done - try out the new inkle loom, made by Michael Williams and collected from the Woolfest. The yarn is a ball of merino/tencel sock yarn from the stash which will never be socks, and which will probably make a very nice little woven pouch. There are 71 warp threads , and plenty of width left for a wider band. Not all the pegs are used for this band. I find it's a bit high to work at when it's on the table, but it will fit on my lap, resting against the table at the…
