Introduction to Inkle Loom Weaving
Scheduled Dates: May 31, 2025
Instructor: Virginia Parks
Time: 10 am - 3 pm
Location: Om Center, 7951 University Avenue, La Mesa
Fee: $90 members, $100 nonmembers
Inkle looms are lightweight, portable, and perfect for weaving colorful bands. What can you do with an Inkle band? Some ideas include belts, straps, bracelets, hatbands, or collars. Combine several together to make a bag or cushion!
In this workshop, you will learn how to read a pattern and warp an Inkle loom. You will also learn how to weave the Inkle band, remove it from the loom, and finish it
Equipment: You will need an Inkle loom and a belt shuttle for the workshop. If you have Texsolv heddles for your loom, feel free to bring them, but they are not required. We will be learning to make our own heddles in class. A $15 materials fee covers yarn and other supplies.
If you have a Schacht Inkle loom, look for these heddles: 220mm Texsolv Heddles (GLI-100-220/12).
Suitable yarns include mercerized cotton (Omega Sinfonia is a favorite!), crochet cotton, Pearle cotton (3/2, 5/2, or 10/2), and cotton rug warp.
You will leave this one-day workshop with a band finished or close to finished, along with the knowledge required to weave more!
