Card weaving (also known as tablet weaving) is a way to create patterned woven bands that are thick, sturdy and beautiful. Though cards are often regarded as a simple tool, the weavings they can produce are infinite in design and complexity. The portability of these cards gives you the possibility of carrying a four harness loom in your pocket.

You can use the cards on their own with a simple tensioning device, such as tying the yarn to a door knob and tensioning around your waist. Or use the cards on a loom. An Inkle Loom is an ideal companion, but you can also use them on a Cricket, Flip, table, or floor loom.

Schacht has developed a card that, at 3-1/2″ inches square, is comfortable in the hand without being bulky. Colored bands and stripes are printed along each edge to help you keep track of the card’s position. Made of sturdy yet flexible 24-point card stock, these cards will serve you well over many, many warps.

The cards come in packages of 25—more than enough for a range of projects. All you need to add is yarn and a belt shuttle. You can start weaving complex bands at less than the cost of two coffees!

Tired of making your own inkle loom heddles? Take some of the work out of warping with a pack of 100 Texsolv Heddles (Green 8 5/8") for use with the Schacht Inkle loom. 

The heddles come strung together in a continuous strand bundle that are tied off with green twist ties. In order to use the heddles for inkle weaving, they must be separated by cutting them apart at the top and bottom in the middle of the 1.25" loop. 

Once separated, the heddles are used the same way as homemade double heddles. Simply fold the heddle in half, place it over the warp strings and loop both ends on the warp peg. These are regular Texsolv heddles that have an inserted eye in the middle of them. Ignore the inserted eye for inkle weaving. The inserted eye will NOT have any warp threads threaded through it. 

For more information on how to warp your Schacht Inkle Loom, please refer to weaving instructions included in the Assembly Manual. The manual may be downloaded freely at https://schachtspindle.com/products/inkle-loom. 

Yoga yarn is 35% lighter in weight than the 100% cotton in an equivalent weight.

So, knit and weave your fabrics, jackets, pull-overs, scarves, shawls and homewares which will have the bulk and density you want but at the same time staying light!

Our Yoga yarn has a nylon filament core completely covered by a cotton outer wrap! Get the best of both worlds: the strength & elasticity of nylon and the natural comfort & beauty of cotton!

It is a 2 ply (two threads plied together) yarn - each ply is cotton spun over the nylon filament - the nylon filament is not visible and it will dye like 100% cotton.

It is such a pleasure to weave with this yarn. Due to the slight elasticity of the yarn there will be no more “saggy shed” when weaving on a rigid heddle loom!

This is Ne 8/2, but looks and weaves like Ne 5/2. You can use it in warp and weft and in any combination with other yarns.
