    Inkle Loom & Video

    For those who want to buy an inkle loom instead of making one, Jas Townsend & Son has one for sale here: http://jas-townsend.com/product_info...roducts_id=351. There is also a video on that page about how to set it up and weave with it.

    There appear to be numerous videos on Youtube about Inkle looms and weaving with them. The Jas Townsend one is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2drhn3QDgtI
    "Before two notes of the theme were played, Colin knew it was Patrick Mor MacCrimmon's 'Lament for the Children'...Sad seven times--ah, Patrick MacCrimmon of the seven dead sons....'It's a hard tune, that', said old Angus. Hard on the piper; hard on them all; hard on the world." Butcher's Broom, by Neil Gunn, 1994 Walker & Co, NY, p. 397-8.

    An Inkle loom is also ideal for making traditional claddach style garters. In effect these are mini-tartan warps with a single colour weft that gives a warp faced stripped cloth. There are a number of traditonal patterns.

    Jas Townsend is a great company to deal with. Plus they are fellow Hoosiers.
