Sew the weft back three or four sheds to lock it. Now the warp threads cannot come undone unless you cut
it very close to the end of the braid. So, don’t do that!
Let the ends hang loose as a fringe, plait them, twist them, tie knots in them, glue them and cut them
close to the braid so you can fold the end of it or tie the ends around a piece of wood or a bell for a wall-
hanging, etc etc.
There are lots of different things you can do with the ends, depending on what you like and what’s the
purpose of the braid.
PATTERNS
Apart from the patterns you can get just in the way you warp, there are lots of pick-up and pick-down
patterns, patterns using different colours and thicknesses of warp and weft and so on. Learn about it by
talking with other weavers, reading books and experimenting yourself. There will always be something you
haven’t tried yet!
WHAT DO YOU USE IT FOR?
You can make belts, ties, wallhangings, bookmarks, curtain ties, shoelaces, edging for clothes, shoulder
straps, watch straps, headbands, straps for guitars and cameras, halter straps and leashes.
You can sew them together and make bags, purses, cushion covers, clothes, room dividers, tea cosies,
bigger wallhangings, placemats, pot plant hangers and moccasins.
And lots more! Have fun!
Many thanks to Arne and Elsa Krogh our Ashford Distributors in Denmark for designing the new Inkle
Loom. And also to their daughter Birgitte Krogh who took good care of the instructions.
Thank you all!
