String heddle woven band

On By CarynIn Craft

I finished weaving a 2-inch-wide band on my Inkle loom using cotton yarn with a metallic gold thread, and string heddles. I like how easy it is to change the thread with every other string secured with the heddles. It doesn’t make for very interesting patterns, just a plain weave, but it is quick, solid, and I can weave more of the warp.

So on this inkle loom I have used a rigid heddle and string heddles. Next will be weaving a band using tablets.
