Oddly enough I was recently re-reading Helene Bress's definative work on inkle
weaving.  She states that while the word "inkle" is indeed period, researches
don't know precisely to what it refers except that it was a tape weaving of some
kind.  The inkle looms we use today were introduced to the US by Mary Atwater in
the 1930's.  If someone has tons of documentation on inkle weaving, I'd sure like
to get ahold of it. 8>D)
