Is is possible to get your plans for these looms? Thank you so much. Hi Scott,

Thank you so much.

The loom I am using is based off the early 1900s version; however, the "inkle" produced is identical. The current version of the inkle loom I find more "user-friendly" compared to the box loom, especially for younger students. Card weaving uses essentially the same loom design (with the obvious exception of the cards, or tablets). In fact, one of my next classes will work with card weaving. So . . . 4-H kiddos would probably do just fine with the inkle loom and card weaving. Glad you had success on the chainmail pouch - we will be doing something similar in our April 21 chainmail class. We will also look at some Japanese chainmail patterns for comparison.

How about card weaving? I am teaching a 4-H medieval arts class this year, we already have made chain mail pouches. This looks doable! When were these inkle looms originally used?
