Workshop Description:  Learn how to thread an inkle loom and read a pattern. We will make one band in class that incorporates several techniques. This class will open a whole new world to you, whether you are a reenactor or simply a modern crafter looking to expand your horizons. Bands have been used for thousands of years to contain things, close bags, keep hair neat, as a button band to match sweaters, to hold your socks up or your blouse to your body. No prior weaving experience is required. Tuition includes handout and a packet of yarn and other supplies.

Students should bring:  Working inkle loom with good tensioning system, shuttle, scissors, pencil.

Homework:   Ensure that your loom is in good working order. If in doubt, email the instructor photos to heritagespinning@gmail.com to confirm. Know how to make a square knot and an overhand knot (see video at Joan Sheridan’s YouTube channel https://youtu.be/x9IdCn89gfM)..
