Very interesting, thank you Sally. I hope Gareth gets over the chemo effects quickly.

Best wishes and good health to your family. I understand the rhythm of doctor’s calls and appointments and not being able to focus on a project for long. Thank you for your calm and somehow always cheerful voice. Sometimes I rewatch videos for that effect.

Wow Sally. I thought my bow string Jig was complecated. What you have there is quite easy to make. Half dozen in a day easily. Amazing bit of kit. Keep beautiful Sally. Great interesting trip to history. 👍

Another interesting video, thanks Sally. Best wishes to Gareth

so nice to see you again! Have you ever been thinking of making all your wonderful knowledge into a book....or at least a pdf. I like books best.....you can have it with you out in the woods and fields.....I would buy it All the best to both of you

Excellent as always Sally. Doubly interesting as I acquired a floor standing version not so long ago from a friend. Wishing you both well and looking forward to the next video.

Wow that little paper measure made this totally worth watching.

That was really interesting! I'm considering asking my dad to build me an inkle loom for tablet weaving. Kindly landscaper does woodworking type of of situation XD Wishing you and your husband well

Thank you Sally giving me ideas :) Have a wonderful day!

I've scavenged some table legs that I think when cut in half might make a good inkle loom. And there's three of them. so I can get six bars and then figure out a heavy dowel from the hardware store as the last one. I'm concerned about wood hardness though. most scrap lumber in the US is pine. oak is extra. ;P while i watch you I'm spinning on my homemade, somewhat lopsided drop spindle. i have two whole sheeps worth of fleece rn! albiet with a LOT of sawdust stuck in them. but a pet detangling comb gets the worst of it out! i had an interesting heddle idea I wanted to hear your two cents on. the fancy feast catfood I buy has these lovely cardboard inserts to keep the cans from rattling and denting each other. plain single layer rectangular cardboard sheets. I looked at them and thought "with a metal hole punch used for binder papers, I might be able to make a heddle out of it!!!" likewise I found that the fabric quarters I like to use as dye subjects come with these little squares, and I grabbed all the ones I could find and whole punched them to make weaving cards. i just need to save up enough.

Thank you for sharing this, Sally. I've inherited an inkle loom and It has me completely confounded; your video cleared up a few things. Mine is closed on both sides and I can now see it's missing a movable tension post. I like your use of a rigid heddle and am going to give that a try when I get my inkle loom sorted and warped.

This video was enjoyable and informative! I would love to try weaving in this style someday. Thanks for sharing :)

Fascinating! Love your videos! Sorry for your troubles.

Lovely to see you. Very interesting video, thank you. Merry Christmas to you and yours. 💕

That's a great way to distract your mind from more serious matters - cancer is a b...ch - wish you both the best!

wonderful video! best wishes for Gareth xx

love this! thank you

This was fascinating. I didn't know you could use a rigid heddle in one of these inkle looms instead of the string heddles. I have an inkle loom that I've warped up once and I don't really know how to use it to weave on so I must learn.

could you make a tutorial on inkle looms? and maybe how to build one from scratch?

sees the printed out article on the video... glances over at binder with printed out instructions for weaving... hmm, something feels familiar .

Inkle looms actually look simple enough for many people to make at home - do you think it’s manageable? Also, nice quern at the end! Is it stone? Cement? I’m so nosy!

That top peg looks like it could be the handle of a baseball bat

Have you ever attended the European Textile Forum?

LOL, repair a loom, what are you going to do with the Rapier guard?

This would be more effective if you figure out how it works before you start filming.
