The Inkle loom is a tool dating back to the mid 19th century, but the type of fabric created on the Inkle dates back into the early Egyptian period.  Inkle strips were used in almost every culture through history, as trim strips, belts, and straps. These mini inkle looms are made of furniture grade ply-wood.  Do not let the word plywood discourage you from this loom.  Plywood is an engineered wood and has been made for thousands of years; the earliest known occurrence of plywood was in ancient Egypt around 3500 BC when wooden articles were made from sawn veneers glued together crosswise.  This loom and the fabric it creates had a huge revival in the 1960's for guitar straps and clothing trim.

We make our Inkle looms out of various hardwoods from around the world. The majority of our wood is reclaimed, this prevents some of the most beautiful wood from ending up in the dumpster. Each piece is hand rubbed with an oil finish, this helps to protect the wood and prolong the life of your loom.

We offer five sizes of portable Inkle looms the Model 6, Model 9, Model 12, and Model 18, and our Mini Inkle Loom, the minis are made from a furniture grade plywood. The Model number corresponds to the footage of finished weaving you are able to do, the mini will do about 5 feet. Our Inkle looms are made for doing Inkle strips, and are not suited for the high tension warps that many weavers use for card weaving. If you are looking for a loom for card / tablet weaving you can do high tension on, please see our card tablet looms.

* The V2 is our second generation mini inkle loom.
So many of our users wanted more control over their tension that we did a small redesign to the V1 to allow better control.  This is the most popular of all the small looms that we make.
