Nice video. My hubby made some gorgeous shoelaces for me on an inkle loom. I need to get that loom out and weave up some of my stash of yarn and cords.
I think inkle weaving might be something that I would enjoy, but what do you do with the bands afterwards? I can't think that you would need too many bands. Can someone explain?
Historically, these bands also called gaiters, were used to wrap a person's cuffs on their one or two shirts. Or to keep the tops of their stockings (pre-elastic) up around calves, below the breeches bottom. Other uses include: pouch/bag straps, bedroll lashing, belts, and for trade.
@calcrules@calcrules, It can also be used as trim for garments, though as a medieval re-creationist, I only use it on the clothes that I wear in that capacity.
This was quite helpful. The background is a little busy and too much the same colors as the subject, but a good video nonetheless. It was more understandable than the Schacht Co. you-tube instructional video. Thanks!
OH!!! The heddles--it suddenly MAKES SENSE! I was going to be feeding the ball of warp yarn through each one; it seemed such a pain in the rear. Now I get it! The heddle folds over the warp. Thank you for this great tutorial! I'm definitely subscribing. :D

It's a shame we didn't see what this can make because I'm in the dark here (not being a weaver myself). It looks mind boggingly complicated! :)

I make tote and shoulder bags and an inkle loom is perfect for making the handles and straps for those. I also use it as a warping board.

I have a borrowed inkle loom, and this video is *exactly* what I needed. And I love the piano music!

Wow, thanks! I always forget how to warp the thing and have to wait for weeks for one of my friends to show me. This is great.
