The last day of Black Sheep Gathering, I took a class from Suzie Liles of the Eugene Textile Center. I had purchased an inkle loom and did not know anything about it. It was a great opportunity to finally use a tool from my closet.
Suzie walked us through all the steps in order to make a strap on our inkle looms and provided tips on making things easier.
My loom had a funky configuration and it took a little bit more effort to get that going. Here is the path that my loom took.
Here is the resulting strap that I made.
Suzie also taught us how to make shoelaces and I can't wait to try that at home after I undress my loom.
It was a great class and I'm excited to start weaving with my inkle loom.
