Small, Medium and Large


Day 246: I'm afraid I don't have a "super-size" inkle loom to show you (that would be a floor model), but these three serve quite well to keep me busy. "Large" is the standard Ashford inkle and can make a band 110" in length. "Medium" is Ashford's Inklette, and holds 72". It's the one I dubbed "Inky-dinky Inkle," but that was before I got "Small," which I refer to as a "micro inkle." I can squeeze 39" out of it, but only because I have very small hands. It's a wonderful little travel loom. Most of the time, all three are in operation, however I just pulled a band off "Large" and haven't decided what to warp up next. I usually use heavier threads on it ("heavier" being 8/2 cotton). The warp on "Medium" is sewing thread with 10/2 cotton for the pattern threads, and the piece on "Small" is tatting cotton #40 with #20 for the pattern.
