You are most welcome, glad you found it useful. Happy weaving.

Thank you for the kind comments. The Monk’s Belt I found really challenging to get the hang of and I think I would have to rewatch my own video before starting another project. Hmm, Velour, that must be lovely. I think we all wonder what exactly to do with these bands. I have made them for camera straps, belts, trim on worn out coat cuffs, trim on jean hems, purse straps, book marks and key chains. I did see a piece that someone did where they stitched together a bunch of bands and made a purse/bag. Happy weaving from the North.

Thank you, glad you found it useful.

Thank you very much. I haven’t woven Monk’s Belt for awhile, I probably need to rewatch my own video.

Inker weaving is its own thing. You can do card weaving on an inkle loom too. Inkle weaving is also for making bands of weaving. It uses a standard single heddle system and for patterns you do pickups like she demonstrated. Card weaving is different in that the cards make your shed for the shuttle to pass thru and it does this by twisting the warps around each other. It makes for a denser and stronger weave. You can start with either weaving technique. Once you’ve got the loom they are very compatable hobbies.

@Nemodog i got both sides blocked card weaving loom. So i was thinking to open one side as yours.. Card weaving and inkle are quite different. Thank you for reply.

It is not too difficult to do if you have some stiff cardboard, plastic file folder, etc. Cut out how ever many squares you need, all the same size. Next round the corners so there is no pointy bits to catch on the threads. Take one card and using a hole punch put holes in each corner of one square. A hole punch works great as the hole will be smooth. Use that card as a template to cut the holes in all the other squares. That way your holes will be pretty much in the same place. Then all you need is a marker to place your A B C D in the corners. Hope this helps.

Hope it worked and you have been weaving away.

Glad you found it useful. I found Monk’s belt a bit tricky which was why i decided to do the video.

I live by the saying “you learn by your mistakes”. I figure at some point I am going to be some smart! I am forever trying new and increasingly more challenging weaving things. Ohh, travelling pinwheels, lovely. I hope it turned out as lovely as you hoped.

@@suelocke3494 they did not, but i learned, and THAT is the joy. i need to double the warp in the heddle and the weft (don't have a tiny one), and then i bet it will work. TBD.

So glad you found it useful. I enjoy making the videos, I try and explain things in a way that makes sense to me.

Sorry for the extremely long wait for a reply. I am so glad you found it useful. Hope your Monk’s Belt turned out as you hoped. Happy weaving.

Wow, it has taken me a long time to respond. Very glad you found it useful.

So glad you found it useful.

Each row has two turns and both will turn in the same manner. Your group of cards will be divided as indicated in the pattern/diagram for that row. You will have some that will turn forward and some that turn backwards. You will turn the cards, weave, beat and then again turn(in the same direction), weave and beat again. Now you can go to the next row and reorder the cards again for the next groups to turn. Hope that helps.

Yes that is correct. I found it helpful when sorting the cards to always push the forward turning pack up the warp toward the top of the loom and push the backward turning group toward me. Then I would quickly double check my chart and then turn them.

So glad this helped you.

About an inch or 2.54cm.

Glad this helped you. Thanks for watching.

Glad you found it useful.

So glad you found it useful. Happy Weaving.

It is called an Inkle Loom. It creates bands similar to what a kumihimo loom would.

Typos corrected. Thanks!
