Thank-you for the tips and tricks! I am a new Inkle weaver and learned quite a bit.

Thanks so much for posting this! Its easier to learn from watching someone. I'm about an hour from you, and have stopped into the shop before for warp thread. Hopefully I'll be able to come by another time when you are present in the shop.

I didn't know this was a thing! I wonder if that's where that word came from? To get an inkling. This feels so pleasant. I feel like I've just learned some fun little secret brain food.

a slight damp cloth under the loom will also stop it from moving, also works for kitchen cutting boards

Just spent a couple of hours watching several of your videos. They are great! Thank you. Now I’m going to weave myself some colorful shoelaces😊

Thanks for the gift of your time. Glad you are inspired!

Hello Joan, I have an inkle loom that I have not used for decades. I love your idea with the tape for changing colours and also for making shoe laces. They would make wonderful drawstrings for purses and bags. I plan to get my loom out again to give it another try.

That was fabulous!

I really am inspired to make my own laces now. And I can make them the colour I want. Thank you!

Great video and instruction!

Is there somewhere to see what the round lace will look like? I know sites that show flat but would like to preview round before warping up. Thanks.

Wow, you make it look so easy!!@ thx so much, can't wait to get started on my laces!!

Thanks, Kelly. Another option is to weave flat and use the round bit as the agulettes (just apply glue to saturate and allow to dry). Have fun!!!! --Joan

In the past I've always had trouble dealing with the yarn ends when changing colors in an inkle weaving, but I'm going to try your system with the tape. Also love your tip about the use of clips, and your comment about a hoodie drawstring gave me an idea. Many thanks for your most helpful video, Joan!

Thank you so much

Awesome!

just trying this one now. very cool that you can do a tubular inkle weave too! I was worried that mine wouldn't twist (and I am using thinner silk thread), but it did but not as noticable maybe because my 15 warp threads are too fine. I think you are right in making sure you tug the weft tight after each weave. Also I use ms paint to choose the colours to see what the twist would look like- I advise anyone else to do the same if you need to see what it would look like. I'm also curious about other patterns using the tubular style!

Joan, thanks for this fun and informative video. You used 8/4 cotton, but said that is bigger than you'd usually use for shoe laces. What weight of yarn would you normally use for flat shoe laces? Thanks!

Did you get an answer? I made my first pair using 8/2 cotton, warp 23. They came out about 1/4". But mine were flat in still not sure about round.

I m using Aunt Lydia #3 thread. The lace is not twisting. Do you have a suggestion. Very instructive video.

It twists when it comes off the loom. Loom tension keeps it straight (mostly) until then.
