“I have been teaching inkle weaving for a number of years. After every class I hear ‘what’s next?’ The first ‘what’s next’ is to get some experience weaving. I’ve included tips that I find helpful for weaving. Each kit represents one of the patterns in our first collection of inkle bands, Simply Pretty Bands. A pattern booklet for the entire collection is available for download. I hope you enjoy weaving your inkle band.” ~ Joan
