Ok, not an inkling, an inkle. And it’s not mine, a generous woman in my Fiber Arts Guild<\/a> lent it to me yesterday. (Note: an inkle is actually the band itself. This is an inkle loom<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

\"Schacht<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s not a great photo, but this Schacht inkle loom is so easy to weave on! I think it took me almost as long to warp the loom as it took me to weave 90+ inches on it. I’ve never warped an inkle before other than that PVC inkle I tried. So that was part of the reason it took a long time, but more, I was following a pattern in Anne Dixon’s book<\/a>, and had to learn to read an inkle draft, and I had to change colors MANY times, which is time consuming no matter what type of loom you’re warping.<\/p>\n

It took me some time to figure out the rhythm of the weaving, and to get my selvedges straight, but I’m quite happy with my first attempt.<\/p>\n

\"finished<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of this band will be straps for those treasure pouches, some will be turned into button loops for them. I’m sure I won’t have any left over. If I need more, I’ll have to consider how much time I have available to make more. I am now completely confident that a brand new weaver can produce a bookmark on it without too much difficulty.<\/p>\n

Today I also got JJ & NB’s wraps hemmed and through the washer & dryer. Tomorrow I’ll press & label. <\/p>\n

Then, just because I didn’t have anything else to do with my time, \ud83d\ude09 I planned, measured, beamed, and threaded a scarf warp for my counterbalance loom.<\/p>\n

It was a productive day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
