We offer 3 levels of Inkle Weaving:

• Beginner

• Pick Up

• Krokbragd

Inkle weaving travelled from Europe to America and almost became extinct. With the help of Mary Meigs Atwater, a handweaving legend, the craft was preserved. These tapes or thin warped faced woven bands had many uses. In historic times, woven tapes were essential, versatile fabric strips used for everything from clothing fasteners (apron ties, garters, petticoat strings, hatbands) and securing bags to decorative trim, making them vital necessities before modern zippers and fasteners. 

Today, inkle weaving continues to be appreciated with more current items such as dog collars and leashes, key chains, wristlets, shoelaces, bookmarks and more. What would you make?

If you have never woven on an inkle loom, please sign up for the beginner class.
