[Namron] Inkle Looming

[Jenn]

I learned to weave on an Inkle Loom at King's College a few years back from Annabelle.  I love it so much, I even went so far as designing a loom for a friend to build.  Since then, I have worn it out and bought another.  I love the process and picking of colors.  I am interested in more about the Card or Tablet Weaving.  This takes so much more concentration than the Inkle Weaving, that I need some guidance and some tricks.  I took this class too at King's College, but haven't done any  more with it than buy a few supplies.  What wonderful things you can make with a few dollars of yarn!  I am definitely interested in Classes or a Weavers Guild.

  Greetings,
  This is a subject I do know a little about.  

  For those who do not know, and inkle loom is a small, usually portable,
  loom used for weaving trim and belts.  The cards Chass refers to are
  also used for weaving trim or belts.  They are frequently combined,
  using the inkle loom to transport the cards.

  For anyone wishing to learn either of these arts, we are trying to get a
  list of those interested so we can set up classes here in Namron.  If
  you cannot make the classes, once they are set up, please contact the
  Arts and Sciences officer or the teacher and I am sure they can arrange
  to get with you for a class at an event.  (Since I am planning on
  teaching beginning inkle weaving, I'm fairly sure on that one(Grin).)  I
  frequently have a loom with me at events, and if I teach, I may actually
  get some of it woven, also.

  If you do a web-search on "card weaving" or "tablet weaving", you can
  find many links.  I will try to remember to post some later.  If I
  forget, please remind me.
