How to Warp and Weave on the Schacht Inkle Loom

Inkle looms are used for weaving narrow bands that can be used as belts, straps and trim. See how to get started warping and weaving on your Schacht Spindle Inkle Loom.

For heddles: If you take string and wind it around the main 4 pegs a bunch of times in a big circle, then cut them off at one point, you'll have a bunch of strings all the same size in no time. It's quicker than cutting them one by one. Just keep count of how many times you wind around for the number of heddles you need. Then store them like you would store a hank of yarn. Put a string through the middle of all of them, tie in a bow and twist the whole thing into a mini hank.

Instead of taping the thread in the beginning, you can also tie it between the end of the loom and the slot that the tension peg slides around in or you can tie to the tension knob and come around but tieing it to the end of the loom is handy if you can't be bothered by using tape.

Why in a video of yours which I got with this loom only goes around three pegs for the heddles, yet on here you are using four pegs, I am really confused as to which is right, please can you reply as soon as possible before I go any further with my heddles ?.

@piggylover368 - You do realize you can put one together with a 10' 2x4 and 4' of 1" dowel rod, right? I put one together that was a ton bigger than that with a slightly different design for around $10 with nothing but a 1/4" drill bit and a screwdriver. The only REALLY important thing is that your two top pegs and your heddle peg are lined up well enough you can get a good shed without fighting the next peg down in the front. I'll post a video of my construction up for you.

How much would this frame cost in pound sterling and do you ship to 🇬🇧??

What size thread are you using? It looks larger than sewing thread.
