Thank you. So hard to find videos that don’t assume you already know all the basic equipment needed for weaving. Very very helpful.

[@SoniaJones]

I am glad I was able to help you. I found the same when I first started all the videos just assumed you knew how to set up and what to do :(.

[@northeastwoodsman9895]

I never thought I'd be a weaver but when I decided to make a powder horn strap I was absolutely lost. This is by far the most helpful bit of information I found and I managed to get my strap done first try and now I actually want to do more and try patterns. Thank you!!!

[@SoniaJones]

I am so pleased I was able to help. Weaving is such an addictive hobby as there are just so many patterns you can do. Have fun :).

[@cliffordhallam3270]

Been back to watch this three times. It’s still the best inkle loom weaving startup on you tube! Thanks ever so much for making it!

[@SoniaJones]

Thank you very much for your lovely comment. I am glad I was able help.

[@cindyevans219]

I had never heard of an Inkle Loom until today. So I did what came natural and looked to KZbin and here you are !! Thank you so much for a very comprehensive, easy to follow beginners tutorial 👏👏👏 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@SoniaJones]

You are very welcome :). I am glad I was able to help.

[@wendywalters2293]

Thanks for the great introduction to Inkle weaving. Can’t wait to get started!

You are welcome 😁 Have fun weaving

[@gracespencer5152]

You are a wonderful teacher! You anticipate exactly what your audience needs next. Impressive.

[@SoniaJones]

Thank you very much that is lovely to hear. I hope I managed to answer all your questions 😁

[@petebartlett2229]

I’ve got 2 looms already but being drawn into the world of inkle looms!! Love how you say heddle,made me smile

[@SoniaJones]

Lol thanks I definitely have a pronunciation problem and even though I know what it should be now I still get it wrong 😂.

[@WPRanchLLC]

Yes! Thank you so much for this video. I'm such a novice I had to look up the terms "warp" and "weft!" This instructional really took the voodoo mystery out of "warp-faced" weaving. Yay! Look at me using my new vocabulary. Looking forward to your subsequent videos. Cheers!

[@SoniaJones]

So pleased I was able to help you understand it a little more :).

[@MissGroves]

It's been 20years since I last wrote, just picking it up again and this is a great refresher, thank you. You do make me laugh with the heedles instead of heddles, not in a bad way, it actually made me remember what they were

[@SoniaJones]

I am glad I was able to help :). If you watch many of my other videos you will find I pronounce a lot of words wrong 😂. It is part of my brain fog/health/memory issues but it makes life entertaining 😁.

[@MissGroves]

@@SoniaJones it actually helped me remember as I 'heeded' what I was doing on every other thread, thank you, I took have those issues :)

[@WPRanchLLC]

I think I'll call them "heedles" so I can feel sophisticated with a Brit accent! 😉

[@SoniaJones]

😂

[@nekamire918]

Very informative, thank you very much! I finger weave, bead, and make baskets. Just bought my first inkle loom. I must say I was a bit intimidated by it, but you explain everything so clearly. I can't wait to get started!

[@godschild1305]

Just found this. I will be returning over and over! Excellent teaching. My father- in- law made an unless look for me 20 years ago. I had forgotten how to use it. I am eager to give it another go. Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Sonia!! What a wonderful tutorial!! I understand the technique so much better. I found that cotton worked best for me also. I tried acrylic, and nylon for practice but they didn't work out. I am excited to get my loom set up again and weave to the end and watch your next video!! Your bands are so pretty! I would like to do one as a guitar strap and give it to my son who plays classical as a hobby. I was at a loss as to what to do on the loom and I don't know anyone who even knows what an inkle lloom is. My husband is the builder only. lol Thank you again so much!!

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

I am buying an inkle loom in three days. I can't wait to get started. Can I suggest that putting your roll of thread into a container an placing it on the floor beneath your working surface, will stop it rolling about. It is also good if you are using multiple colours on your warp as they wont get tangled. When you use several balls/colours you need a container for each ball. Recycle plastic large soft drink bottles or plastic milk bottles, cut the narrow neck off and you have the perfect container.

[@SoniaJones]

Thank you for your suggestions. I normally do have my threads on the floor as I work from a cone but back when I made this I had to work in a confined space so couldn't do my normal set up. Have fun working on your inkle loom :). If you would like to share your work please do pop over to my Facebook group.

My inklet loom is similar to the other one you have and I feel it has some pegs missing I bought it second hand to give it a go. Thanks for this video I need to learn from you, all the basics

[@SoniaJones]

Both my inkle looms are second hand as well so my bigger one might have pegs missing as well but it works well that is all that matters :). Good luck on your weaving journey. I have a few basic videos out in the weaving playlist but hope to get better ones done soon :).

[@eugeniamaker5147]

Hi Sonia, thanks for the tutorial. What’s the max length for a belt when using this particular loom?

[@SoniaJones]

Hi I am sorry but I do not know. Each of my inkle looms are different brands and are different sizes so produce different length belts. They do tend to be around 110 inches for the bigger ones but I can’t say which brands definitely do that length.

[@trystensilver6434]

The top half of most women’s thumbs, are usually just over an inch give or take (in case you need to measure in a pinch).

[@SoniaJones]

Yeah I do know this but somehow forget when it would be handy lol.

[@amaliabroedel1759]

👏👏👏 obrigada.🇧🇷

[@SoniaJones]

You are welcome :)

[@jeanlundquist8760]

I was waiting for you to explain about the split heddel peg. How do i use it?

[@SoniaJones]

I just use it like any other peg so wrap the heddle around it. The split seems to have no main use for what I have seen.

[@joannecurrie6833]

hi may i ask you what is the website to get that cotton thread the dollys one

[@SoniaJones]

I’m really sorry but I have no idea. It was given to me with a bunch of other yarn. I have never seen it in a shop :(.

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

In my instructions that came with my loom it said to put some card in the very beginning end of the warp before you start. Do you do that?

[@SoniaJones]

I don't as it is just to help keep it straight to start with but some do. It's a personal preference :).

[@saniamaryjanemalondraskrl9962]

Is it possible to make hand gloves using loom knitting flower kit set?

[@SoniaJones]

I am afraid I have never made gloves using the flower loom sorry.

[@robertlamb7513]

What would they have used in fronter days to make something like a strap for something like a shot bag or a possables bag

[@SoniaJones]

I am sorry but I don’t know, I am not a historical weaver so do not know much about the traditional materials 😞. At a guess I would say linen, cotton or wool but that would be a pure guess.

Hi I am sorry but I brought mine premade so I have no idea how to build one. Maybe try Googling it and see if you can find any instructions.

There is a book you can get on making inkle looms. Quite easy to make

[@gorgana5]

Do you have one from start to finish please?

I do not have a video made yet that shows start to finish sorry. There are a couple of videos showing the basic weaving technique done but I hope to make another video doing it all soon.

[@bryanedwards2835]

What is your favorite type of loom to work on?

[@SoniaJones]

I don't really have a favourite to be honest. I just work on whichever one I feel like working on.

[@vilmathompson5704]

I found that the tension should be at max (highest point) not as shown in the video

[@SoniaJones]

It is a personal preference really. The yarn/thread you are using can affect it as well. My video is only for a guide to the basics as people make more items they will find what works for them and what does not. :).

[@dragonlord0666]

Great Video. only niggle is it's pronounced head-dell but spelt heddle not that it really matters ;)

[@SoniaJones]

Thanks :). If you watch enough of my videos you will see I pronounce a lot of words incorrectly. It not that I don’t know (though some I don’t) it’s my brain having a funny five minutes due to brain fog :).

[@eileenfb1948]

Is it pronounced Heedle or hedl?

[@SoniaJones]

I always pronounce wrong so I believe it is headle but spelt heddle. Basically what I said in the video most times go with the opposite lol. To be honest though as long as they work pronouncing it correct isn’t necessary as so many things are pronounced differently around the world.
