Bird Bands 2 Patterns

“I have been teaching inkle weaving for a number of years. After every class I hear "what's next?" The first "what's next" is to get some experience weaving. I've included tips that I find helpful for weaving; however, this is not a tutorial, but rather a collection of patterns. It is intended to help you with your exploring. As you are learning how to work on selvedges and beating, it is helpful to also observe what you like about color and how it works together. This collection has a smattering of this and that so you can explore—whether you are a new weaver or have been weaving for years. All of these patterns are available in kit form along with other band weaving accessories and hardware.” ~ Joan
