Inkle weaving is great for complete beginners. It is commonly used for narrow work such as trims, straps, and belts. We can create colorful bookmarks, bracelets, guitar straps, bag straps, shoe laces, and dog leashes, or sew them together and make bags, placemats, cushion covers, and more. Practicing it can help us to slow down and calm the mind. It teaches us patience, mindfulness, perseverance, self-awareness, and creative problem-solving.
However, relaxing by making woven textile art is not always possible. This book offers another way to immerse yourself in peace and relaxation. You can feel the satisfaction, as you unleash your creativity through coloring the inkle weaving patterns.
Some inkle-weaving basics and techniques are provided in this book. No weaving drafts are given and the book does not teach you how to read weaving drafts. We have prepared all 40 designs in a form that closely resembles the final work. As you add color to each yarn, you will not only be thrilled with your unique pieces, but also gradually understand more about the inkle weaving mechanism. This should give you a certain skill in real weaving projects later on. Beginner weavers can learn and practice their skills using this book too. We hope you like and have fun with these inkle weaving patterns.
