Well, I’ve finished the first step: I’ve got a problem. If you want to weave miles of the stuff, a backstrap. Inspecting the band, comparing with known methods, etc. One of the limitations of the Inkle Loom is that the band you weave can only be as long as the loom allows. An Inkle Loom is one form of loom which permits band weaving. How was the pattern woven? As a former mathematician, I realized that the steps one does to answer this question has striking parallels to steps in higher math: Step Note in particular that the areas with only background weave do not show the characteristic basket-weave structure. Suitable for complete beginners this is an introduction to inkle/band weaving, using both inkle and back strap looms. Rigid heddle was originally invented for and used as a simple shedding device for weaving narrow bands, straps and trim. But its patterning is not like typical Nordic/Baltic bands. ![]() ![]() Like the classic Nordic pick-up patterning that students were learning, it was woven with a thicker red pattern thread over thin white background threads. It appears to have plain-woven borders, with the central area woven with some sort of pick-up pattern.
