    Passing on one pair hand made garter ties

    I have a pair of garter ties I made on an Inkle loom. They happen to be too small for my fat calves. They are hand woven of wool in muted colours. These garter ties are 33 inches from the finished knots end to end. They have two inches fringe on each end making them a total of 37 inches. They are 1 1/2 inches wide. They have some stretch but not a lot. Photos are below. These are being offered for free to the first person to pm me and ask for them. Shipping, in the lower 48, will be taken care of also. The colours are a muted blue, claret and ecru or off white. If in doubt if these will fit you take some webbing or something and cut to 33 inches and tie it off around your calf. There will be two more inches of fringe from the ends of the 33 inches.

    Finished ends and fringe




    The colours on the photos are quite true and were taken in the sun.

    Although I don't need a pair I just wanted to post that they are very nice. I've always wanted to try out an Inkle loom.

    Inkle looms are quite easy to make and use. They are great for making garter ties, belts, straps etc. They have limitations in the designs you can make but do leave a lot of room for creativity.

    This is the large inkle loom I built for myself.
