No weaving experience necessary! The inkle loom is portable, easy to warp, easy to weave off, and makes beautiful warp face belts and bands. Daryl uses it to trim her garments. Every weaver should own one. Weaving along is optional but encouraged.
Through a PowerPoint and Webcam presentation, participants will learn in session one,

• learn proper techniques for weaving a tight even band with good selvedges
• learn finishing techniques like twist ply fringe
• Explore design options and ideas

• Webcam helpful though not required
• 3 Colors of 3/2 or 5/2 Cotton, at least 50 yards of each. The more contrast the colors have, the better. (Caution: If you use skeins of DMC perle cotton, please wind the skeins into balls before the class)
• Sturdy cord for heddles, carpet warp or 3 cord crochet cotton.
• Scissors
• Tape Measure
• Open sided inkle loom like the Schacht, Ashford (standard or Inklette), or Beka.
