Inkle Weaving
Inkle weaving is a type of warp-faced weaving where the shed is created by manually raising or lowering the warp yarns, some of which are held in place by fixed heddles on a loom known as an inkle loom. Though inkle weaving was brought to the United States of America (US) in the 1930s, the inkle itself seems to predate this by several centuries, being referred to in Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. Inkle weraving is commonly used for narrow work such as trims, straps and belts.

With each shed change I am seeing the pattern come to life right in front of my eyes. My hands automatically, as if they had their own mind, create the perfect weave. I crack a smile knowing this is my creation, a one of a kind. - A Weaver
