INKLE LOOM FROM FRED’S SHED
Price $50 Now 30
Inkle weaving is a type of warp-faced weaving where the shed is created by manually raising or lowering the warp yarns. You can make inkle belts, or use for Tablet Weaving. There are plenty of instructions on the internet as well as YouTube videos.
The loom is designed to create long, very strong braids. Weave intricate patterns and embellish with different types of yarns, beads and colours. Make trims, tassels, bands, straps, chokers, dog leads and more. The loom is made from NZ Rimu wood and strongly constructed. The warp tension can be adjusted with the adjustable tension peg. Compact size for portability and easy storage.
Here is a book, in colour, you can download from Ashford looms. This loom is a bit different, but you can get the idea. Current price of an Ashford Inkle loom is $119.00
