Inkle Loom

That is really nice work. You have to tell us where you got the medallion for labeling your work. I have been wanting to go to something like this.

Thanks for te comments.

The brass tags were ordered from Vidi, a wonderful craftsman in England. His website is worth checking out if you like this sort of detail.

Cool…if you like the medalion check out Davids blogs on decal making also!

David, that is a fine inkle loom. I have two that I built, because I weave with them, and found that when I do, somone is always interested in learning how, so I wound up with two
The woods you’ve used out of your “scrap bin” make it a beautiful loom that will only get better with time.

Dennis, thanks for telling me to check out the blog, I loved learning more about decal making, this logo is so special and really adds to the beauty of the loom. David I’d love to see someone using the loom, I will be reading how to do this as I will be the proud owner of this loom. I’m so excited of course it is so beautifully done and I’m sure I will love weaving. Today I plan to learn about the yarns that can be used and visiting a store to check them out. If you know of a good source to buy materials could you pass that information on to me? Also anything else that you think that might help me.

That’s what really makes this a fine place to be.

And every time I think of Inkle Loom, I think of Diane.

And then there are the inkle Loompa’s

The loom was made by a bunch of small loompas working in my shop at night – all I did was put it in the mail!

Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments. Hope Diane will post an image of some weaving from the loom.

David, you always do a great job of showing your projects. I particularly like the quality of your photos and the accompanying descriptions.

Quality posts from a quality guy about his quality work – makes a great combinations.

David, thanks that’s a good idea, I can scan a photo to post here. I have to learn a bit more before I can get weaving though so it might take awhile.

Opps, I should of addressed that question of where to get materials, yarn and such to Christina. That must of been so nice to make your own looms like you did.

Diane

Very nice I had never seen one of these before. I have a friend that has made a couple of rug looms. I think he will enjoy looking at this

My wifes aunt is a weaver, so I find this project interesting on different levels.

Also, thanks for “reminding me” about getting my own makers marks… just fired off an inquiry… now to contemplate the artwork…

I got the loom wrapped, I will be giving it a test drive soon. It sure looks nice with it wrapped and ready to go.
