You are so convincing. I think I'll walk away from the frame loom (for a while) and start weaving on a loom like yours.

[@Sheepdog1314]

excellent - thank you

[@AnimeShinigami13]

i just got an inkle loom for christmas. the manual wasn't clear enough, imo that's pretty typical of most manuals for just about anything. this should be much clearer. i'll save this to watch later so i can go back.

Can I use the same 5/2 yarn as heddle if I don't have available texsolv or other yarns?

[@schachtspindle]

Yes you can!

[@dottyrichards9627]

How long is the string to make a heddle when you cut it and how long is it when you fold it in half after you knotted it

[@schachtspindle]

Great question! The string heddle we used in this video is 9 1/2" long. Texsolv heddles at 8 5/8" and 9" will work for an inkle loom as well. schachtspindle.com/product/heddles/

[@maryking5425]

What length is the texsolve heddle?

[@schachtspindle]

Thanks for your message! They are 8-5/8". Happy weaving!

How many metres does it take

[@schachtspindle]

The meters on your warp depends on your project! In this specific project, we used 3 different colors of warp yarn that totaled of 119 meters (or 130 yards).
