An Inkle loom is a small, portable loom used mainly for making narrow, warp-face braids.
The warp is the length-wise threads on a loom, and a warp-face fabric is one that has more warp than weft (the width-wise threads). Only the warp shows on the weave surface because the warp dominates. The braids are very strong and can be used as belts, ties, guitar straps, and as trims and edgings on hand-woven garments. You are only limited by your imagination!
Although the Inkle Loom is very simple in construction, it has all the features of other looms;
A mechanism for lifting the warp threads
A tension adjustment
