Title: Question for strap makers ( Women and Men )
Post by: 3 swans on January 17, 2017, 12:05:08 AM

Hello. My wife got an Inkle loom for christmas. She needs good info on getting started. We looked at some classes, but most are far away, we live in central WV. She is looking for books, tapes, dvd's anything to get started and maybe a teacher somewhere close. Thanks Carol Moler.

3 swans; good evening Sir. Here is the name of 2 books my wife started her venture into the world of Inkle Weaving, 1) "Inkle Pattern Directory" by Anne Dixon. 2012 Interweave ; interweave.com. 2) "Inkle Weaving " by Helene Bress. Copyright 1975. Copyright under the Berne Convention. In the past we have used her home spun yarn, hemp and Linen. She even helped me weave  a couple of hemp horn straps. Good luck on your new venture. Have a great week. AJ.
