- This is a tour of my home made Inkle Loom and how I made a set of garters for my historic reenacting kit.
Good Morning! The approximate dimensions of the loom are:
length: 72cm
height: 32 cm
pins: 13 cm
tent fit: 13cm
top plug - hedge plug 18 cm
space between erect sections 20 cm
I did not use any measured blueprint to build this loom. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

This is the best inkle loom instructional video on TH-cam, hands down.
Nice job on the loom and the video . Clear and informative. Thanks.
Excellent presentation on inkle weaving, thank you. Best on the internet by far.
Cool ! I always wanted to get explainations to built a compact, carriable loom, and this one is perfectly shown, thank you a lot !
Thank you! Clear instructions without extra verbage 🤗
What a fantastic film , thank you so much for making it, the best Inkle loom video by far.
Thank you soooo much. I was absolutely terrified about trying an inkle loom and how it all worked. Your video was the most informative I have found online . You explained everything really well and your video angle was great! I was able to see everything you did really well. So glad I stumbled onto your video. Thank you again. =)
Thank you for your demonstration in a very simple and clear way. I learned more from your explanation then from some of those professionals!!
I love your video ! I can totally understand the cheapskate part because i am too ! cant wait to make my own ! THANKS
That’s some good music! Nice, clear instruction. Thanks!
Just made an inkle loom today. This video is very informative
Awesome learning video! Thanks so much, I was beginning to think I would never find a good instructor on TH-cam.
This is great! You make it easy!
Thank you!
i used your video to get me started on my very first project on my inkle. i'd watched many other videos before i found yours, but found yours to be the best and easiest to follow by far. so, thank you so much!!!
Nice video. Great instruction. Thanks!!!
Excellent! Thanks very much.
Excellent video. I really understand what to do, and how to warp and weave on my loom. Thanks so much! :)
Thank you so very much. You didn't clutter the lesson up with a lot of non-sensicle chatter but showed the complete picture on how its done as it happened. Gonna build and get with it. Hope to see more of your expertise 9n the channel sincerely Greg!😉😀
Thank you. So helpful and informative
That's a good video! I understand all the explanation about the inkle loom weaving.
Greatings from Spain
Thank you!
Spain... another country I'd love to visit.
Excelente video.Lo mejor de principio a fin.Felicitaciones!!!!
Great teaching and good music!
I was having problems tying on and your video is very helpful.
There are many ways to do it, but this way works for me. I'm glad I could be helpful.
This helped me so much. Thank you very much 👍🏻
Thank you so much for sharing. This tutorial has been beyond helpful.
There's so much more to learn too!
THIS IS PERFECT!Thank you sooo much!
Incredibly well done. I learned so much.
Thanks. I could have done better...
I enjoy every minute of your video.. Thank you!!
Thanks. I personally think I went on a bit too long.
Denb7 I don't think it was too long.. you talk clearly and give useful information. I enjoy it! :)
Great tutorial so easy to follow.
+SistahBear1 Thanks! I've only been doing this since January 3, 2016, so I'm still learning. I don't know anything about yarn or that kind of stuff, but I enjoy experimenting with different techniques and materials. I hope to soon make another video that shows how to create different patterns.
But first I need more practice. Good luck!
SistahBear1 I would love to but one set but how
Mate absolutely by far the best tutorial on weaving I have seen so far. made me laugh when you said that you're a cheapskate I built mine inkle loom on the weekend out of pallets wood and a broom handle. 😁 So from 1 cheapskate to another. thank you very much for your video learnt a lot .
Thanks for watching and for the compliment! I've been meaning to make a new loom video sometime, but I keep putting it off. Compliments like this are inspire me to do more.

thanks for making this video!! I was gifted an inkle loom that was home made, but sadly there are major design floors. I intend to sit down and draw out the plans tomorrow, and buy the material and make my own. I participate in historical reenactment festivals, so making my own braids, bands and even sprang and tablet woven caps is on my to do list. Again, thanks heaps
Thanks for watching. What historical era do you reenact and where? I belong to a group that portrays a French camp during the F&I War (1750s). We travel from Fort Niagara NY to Fortress Louisbourg, Nova Scotia. It's reenacting that got me involved in the inkle loom to begin with.
g'day, sorry for the delay in replying. I am part of a couple of re-enacting groups. The first group I was involved in was an English Civil War group 17th century, then my daughter dragged me into a 14th century group she is part of and I'm also part of another group that covers different times, but represents the importance of the horse during history. I also hand make outfits for friends who are re-enacting Romanian history (Dracula,the real story, plus lots of other parts of 15th century history). So, inkle loom weaving is a great option. I will make a box loom as well (as they are at least historically accurate to use at events). Thanks again for your amazing video. oops, before I go, I'm based in South East Queensland, Australia
I like the single knot on the end.
Excellence work! Your video is worth watching with an easy step by step. And your home made Inkle loom is brilliant design. I've never seen this before.Thank you very much for sharing. I just want to do my own one, could you please suggest?
Good Demo
Does the number of heddled have to match the number of unheddled?
I just found this video and was wondering if you have the plans for that loom. I'd love to make one?
Very thorough and not too long at all. The only thing you did not cover is the length of the shuttle yarns and how you would determine that on different looms. Please add that to your post. Looking forward to making trim for my dress. Play in the SCA as a 1098 Irish widow. The Inkle is not "period," a backstrap loom would have been used, but we all use the Inkle due to comfort and portability. I agree with your assessment of it needing maybe another 10 inches for longer weaving area, but as it is, the loom is actually more portable and it really is not that difficult to advance the yarn. Subscribed, thank you.
Thanks for watching my video.Regarding the amount of yarn on the shuttle: The amount is whatever your feel comfortable passing through the shed. Obviously, a longer shuttle could hold more yarn. Because splicing in a new strand is so easy to do, the amount on the shuttle is not critically important. That's why I didn't mention it in the video, but you are correct... I should have at least mentioned it.
Thanks for the feedback.
@@Denb7 Guess I did not make myself clear. I was asking about the loops used on every.other string. How do you determine the length of them to hold the yarn at the correct distance to be able to have sufficient shed space above and below? I would also like to know the approximate size of your beater please. Thank you for responding so quickly.
@@marcellespeake4272 Ah! The loops you are referring to are called 'heddles'. The way I make mine so they are uniform in size is, I tie them around two of the loom's pegs. The first peg is the one that the heddles are connected to as shown in the video (the heddle peg) and the second one is the peg at the top of the shed (the one that the heddle threads go over). The reason I use these 2 pegs is so the heddles hold the threads approximately half the distance between the 2 pegs when installed. Because I made my loom with no measured blueprints, I just got lucky on the heddle peg location.
I use a nylon because it's less stretchy than yarn, but anything can be a heddle. I triple knot my heddles so they don't come untied. (It's a pain in the butt to replace a broken heddle in the middle of a project.)
The beater is about 6 inches in length. My shuttle and beater were made from a broken bamboo cutting board. Some weavers use their shuttles to tighten their work.
@@Denb7 Thanks for the quick reply. Remember others use the pegs too, but could not remember which ones. Thanks for the clarification.

Hola soy Mariú.
No se nada de Inglés pero me encanto el video y la forma tan didáctica que lo explica. Vivo en Chile y aqui hacemos telar Mapuche. Es una lástima que aqui no lo enseñen y vendan esos telares. Serian muy prácticos para realizar fajas.
Gracias por brindarnos sus conocimientos.
Gracias
Gracias por sus amables comentarios.
Yo no hablo español, pero Google 'Traducir' es una cosa maravillosa!
I too have an inkle loom. I have it warped with 100% cotton carpet warp. I am finding it impossible to advance the carpet warp on the loom after loosing the tension. Did you pretreat your pegs in order to be able to advance the warp as smoothly and easily as you do in the video?
The only thing I did to my pegs was to polyurethane and sand them smooth. When I advance the warp, I ease the tension, then I usually pull the warp from two locations at the same time. I am sure to pull in opposite directions. So My latest weaving I pull towards me, while somewhere in the middle of the pegs, I pull the warp away from me. You'll need to follow the path of the warp to determine what direction is should be moved.
Good luck.
Great.
Do you ever wet finish before trimming the splices? What about a little hemstitching before doing the braid?
That video shows practically the first thing I ever made on my loom. I have no idea what you mean by "wet finish" and found no need to use any stitching, but that doesn't mean that other techniques can't be employed.
I have friends who weave on inkle looms, and they set up their looms almost backwards from the way I demonstrated here, but they do beautiful work.
Good luck weaving and thanks for watching my video.
great video! If you want it to be longer cant you move the pole thats closer to you farther out?
You need that pole to adjust tension, weaving shortens your warp. Also if you make the distance between the tension peg and the heddle peg to long you cannot reach behind the heddle peg to create the shed that your shuttle passes through. The distance between the 2 is limited by the length of the users arm.
Sorry but you stand in front of the camera just when you are starting the warp threads. ...does it matter which you go over or under? are any of the pegs critical to go over or under? How is the shortest / longest warp made? i want to start with the shortest since this is my first. I have a purchased loom with a different number of pegs so it is hard to relate to how you are warping....which to skip, which to wrap. thx!
這是經編機；有筘板的那型是緯編機~？
Hi, thank you for a clear and concise inkle loom video. I've been watching all I can find, while I figured out the getting/making of an inkle loom with almost no budget, and no tools or workspace.
I've almost got that squared away now (just need to re-glue a few pegs), and noticed that when you're threading your warp, you tie the knots of your old/new threads at the peg before the Start Peg. Other videos I've seen, the knots are tied at the Start Peg.
So, I wondered if you tied yours differently for a specific reason/advantage to the weaving, or just because you like to tie there. Thank you for your time.
Thanks for watching. I consider the adjustable peg to be the start. I like to have several inches of yarn before the beginning and after the end so I can braid some tails if I want. I know several weavers who warp their yarn completely backwards from what I do. And I've seen others who don't tie ends and instead wait until the whole loom is warped up. I also know some who put on the heddles after the warp is done.
I don't know if there's a wrong way to do it.
@@Denb7 No, no wrong ways at all. Just different, to solve your needs best for you.
I hadn't considered getting the beginning fringe length in this way. Most of the videos I've watched have put warp separator (cardboard) in the different sheds, starting at the start peg, usually 2 or 3, for however long they need for their fringe, before they start weaving.
I'll have to try both methods and see which suits me best.
Thank you again for a great video.
Gracias Dios té bendiga. Me gustaría saber que medidas tiene el telar y la separación de los palitos , lástima que no traduzca en español . De Bogotá Colombia muchas gracias.
No tenía medidas cuando hice mi telar. Permítame unos días e intentaré darle algunas medidas generales.
I had no measurements when I made my loom. Allow me a few days and I will attempt to give you some general measurements.
¡Buenos días! Las dimensiones aproximadas del telar son:
Longitud: 72 cm
altura: 32 cm
clavijas: 13 cm
ajuste de tienda: 13 cm
clavija superior - clavija de seto 18 cm
espacio entre secciones erectas 20 cm
No utilicé ningún plano medido para construir este telar. Le deseo mucho éxito.
¡Gracias!
I hope Google Translate did well. (Espero que Google Translate lo haya hecho bien.)
why so much stick? why not using wheel for stick?
great instructions, thank you!! .. i need a shuttle and a beater stick to get started now .. any suggestions?
My shuttle and beater are made from a bamboo cutting board. The wood is fine grained and very smooth which is important in my opinion. My band saw broke as I was making my shuttle, which left me with a funky looking shuttle that I finished using just a belt sander. It looks goofy, but it works. Some people make a shuttle and beater in one.
@@Denb7 thank you for this..😊
Would you have a pattern or drawings for your tools? I am a real beginner
@@kellykilby2345 Sorry, but I made my loom tools without any plans or measurements. My shuttle is rather clunky at about 2" x 7" and the beater is also about 7" long, I sanded one edge to a thin taper.
I have loom friends (I'm in a historic reenactor group) who have beautiful gracefully slender tools. One has a combined shuttle / beater. They also use finer cotton threads which makes beautiful sashes. This video captures the first practical thing I ever made with my loom and that was done after only a few days of practice.
Does it make any difference if you warp the loom from top to bottom vs how you do it...bottom to top? I would think it was just personal preference? thx
It makes no difference. I have loom friends who warp from the top. I have loom friends who warp their loom first and apply heddles afterwards. There are a wide variety of looms but no matter the configuration, they all do the same thing in the end.
@@Denb7 Great! TY for responding!
My weaving is so uneven. 😓
Inprecionante quero saber como vou fazer um pra mim gostei demas to imprecionada
O tear não é difícil de construir. Muita sorte. Obrigada (Tradutor do Google)
I have never even heard of an inkle loom before today, now I gotta make one! ;) Where did you find the plans to make yours, or did you just make it up as you went along?
I looked at photos of the commercially available looms, estimated a few dimensions and built it. I later discovered that I wanted longer weaves than the maximum my loom was capable of making so I modified it with two extra dowel pegs which is what you see in the video. .
I suggest you search for images of inkle looms before settling on a design because there are many variations and sizes. My next design will likely be slightly taller and have the warp threads arranged in a vertical orientation. I want a larger working area because this loom gives me about 3 or 4 inches before I need to advance the warp.
Good luck!
I'm sorry... But did u say that u built that urself??? You're pretty darn amazing!!!!
Yup! I'm a terrible cheapskate, far too frugal to pay for a high quality commercially made loom. I saw a picture of an inkle loom online and just built what I saw. I used very few measurements and made it from scrap lumber and dowels I had lying around in my wood shop. I needed to buy the "rail bolt" and a washer at Home Depot at a cost of $1.37. So I call my loom, "my $1.37 loom."
Since building it, I have needed to reinforce a couple of the screws that hold the dowels in place. The tension on the band was bending the dowels inward and the warps would slide off. Luckily, I already had some sturdier bolts. I'd hate to spend more on this loom.
You can go to my TH-cam channel and see my cheapskate videos. "The cheapskates guide to free deodorant," is a popular one.

The weft goes from Weft (left) to right...
Do you have the pattern for the Loom?
Sorry to say, but no pattern was used. I basically did everything by eye, no measuring or anything. The one issue I'm having with this loom is because of the tension on the pegs, they are now bending the screws that hold them in place. The result is that the warp strands are constantly sliding off the pegs. I did bore recessed holes to prevent them from sliding, but the holes are only 1/8" deep. I should have used thicker wood on the frame and drilled deeper holes that would add support to the pegs.
It was basically an experiment and I built it to be as compact as possible. I used all scrap wood and materials. My next loom will be better built!
@@Denb7 There's a pronged nut that you hammer into wood and screw a bolt through it. It's threaded. We used it in upholstering headboards to keep the legs on. They are called T-Nuts. It's good for keeping you from wollering out holes. Because you use a bolt instead of a screw they are a lot more stable.
I am doing colonial living history, this is perfect for my garters. What yarn are you using?
I am reenacting the F&I War right now at Fort Niagara right now. The yarn in the video is 100% wool, but I would weave anything. I've been wanting to try cotton thread for a different result, but I haven't used my loom in quite a while.
es maravilloso este telar. su explicación es muy buena. pero esa música es horrorosa
