Inkle looms are great for weaving belts and bands. They’re perfect for start-up weaving programs because they require little additional equipment, are easy to use and understand, and are easily stored.
This inkle loom is built with years of heavy use in mind. It has one open side for easy warping. The tension bar has a knob that adjusts warp tension. Warps can be up to 4.5″ wide and 8.5′ long. The Inkle Loom is made of hard maple and left unfinished.
Schacht’s belt shuttle is included with the inkle loom. It has one bevelled edge, which is great for holding yarn and for beating the weft.
