A neighbour has asked me to make her a small shoulder bag – this means that I need a strap. I used the same pattern and method as that from Warp 21.

Again, I wove a no-repeat version of the adjacent flowers pattern on p22 of Anne Dixon’s book “The weaver’s inkle pattern directory”, using the 5/2 mercerised cotton that the fabric from the 10th piece of Warp 15 was woven with (pale green at the edges of the pattern = black yarn, in the centre of the flowers = cedar green yarn, dark green = dazzling blue yarn & pink = chilli pepper (red) yarn). The weft will be black 5/2 mercerised cotton. The band will be a warp-faced weave.

I want a single column of red flowers and two of blue flowers and so will skip the repeat shown in the pattern.

I began by threading the loom as described in the “Learn to weave on the SampleIT Loom” booklet that came with the loom.
The warp length was determined by the kitchen table, ~195cm
The warp thread sequence is shown in the pattern draft.

The sequence involved in the actual weaving of an inkle band is
Weave
Change shed
Beat (more of a firm push)
Tug the weft to straighten it out
Weave and continue to the end of the warp
