In fact, they are more of a balanced weave. Normally with inkle bands, the weft isn&#8217;t seen except for a snippet on each edge. It&#8217;s there to pull all the warp threads together. The threads of the warp are the only threads you see. But with the two bands I&#8217;ve just finished&#8211;the stained glass one and the green and white one&#8211;the weft is visible. I think I started doing this because I liked the look. Also, I had warped it with double and triple threads but only used a single for the weft. It created it a bunchy feeling when I pulled it in to make the warp-faced weaving. So, I started to weave it to be flatter and smoother. In the end, it&#8217;s not quite balanced weave (where the weft and warp show equally), but it&#8217;s closer to that than a normal band. Why all the fuss? I have a feeling these bands are probably weaker than a real warp-faced band. Also, I learned to weave on a rigid heddle and it makes sense that I reverted to this type of weaving. I also realize that the inkle\u00a0loom is probably more versatile than I first imagined. I wonder if anyone does balanced weaving on these looms? (But why&#8230; when I have a bunch of looms designed for that sitting at home? Because it&#8217;s interesting, that&#8217;s why!)<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Green and white band\" href=\"http:\/\/farm8.static.flickr.com\/7088\/7348526742_7eced36df1.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7088\/7348526742_7eced36df1_b.jpg\" alt=\"Green and white band\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Green and white band\" href=\"http:\/\/farm8.static.flickr.com\/7239\/7348524800_ba183a7cf1.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7239\/7348524800_ba183a7cf1_b.jpg\" alt=\"Green and white band\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It took nearly two bands done similarly to realize I wasn&#8217;t weaving warp-faced inkle bands.
