Beginning Inkle Weaving
Beginning Inkle Weaving with Angela Schneider
Learn to weave on the simple, portable inkle loom! Inkles - narrow woven bands - have dozens of applications including straps, handles, belts, and trim. Make custom coordinating bands to go with your other creations!
In this course, learn to read a pattern, set up the loom, and weave well before moving on to creating your own designs and weaving pickup patterns.
