Mini Inkle Loom

Quoted from the General View of the Agriculture of Renfrewshire
"1732 - Tape manufacture." Glasgow was the first place " in Britain where the Incle loom was established; " Mr Alexander Harvie having, in the year 1732, " at a very great risk of his life, brought over one " of the workmen and a model of a loom from " Haerlem." This branch of manufacture was subsequently introduced into Manchester and other towns in England."

The Inkle loom is obviously older than generally given credit for. The type of fabric created on the Inkle loom dates back into the early Egyptian period. Inkle strips were used in almost every culture through history, as trim strips, belts, and straps. This type of loom and the fabric it creates had a huge revival in the 1960\'s for guitar straps and clothing trim.

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.
