I’m so pleased with the Schacht Inkle Loom I found in a thrift store this week. Actually, my husband spotted it as I was leaving. He thought it looked kind of loom-like and asked me what it was. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I had tried weaving some Sami bands on the little Peacock loom, but it was only working so\/so. I had to take off several pieces of the loom, and that didn’t seem quite right. I never considered getting a regular-sized inkle loom, however, because I did have a mini one<\/a> that was really cute and I never used it. I gifted it to someone and figured that was the end of my band weaving. But never say never!<\/p>\n

I have to admit, weaving on a decent-sized inkle loom is great. I knew how to tie the heddles and warp it already, and so I picked a very simple pattern from the Helene Bress\u00a0book that came with it, and away I went, weaving a ladder band. For anyone who is interested,\u00a0Jane Patrick has a great how-to video<\/a> on warping and weaving an inkle loom that can teach the basics.<\/p>\n

What fun!<\/p>\n

(The inkle loom is not very big, but it looks huge next to the tiny Louet in the next picture. I’m warping the Louet for a rep weave project.)<\/p>\n
