Krokbragd on the Inkle Loom
We will introduce you to the fascinating technique of turned Krokbragd on the inkle loom.
The woven patterns develop due to the placement of the warp colours and the use of three
sheds. There is no pick up involved so the weaving moves along quickly once the inkle loom
is set up.
The class suits those who have some experience with weaving in general or with an inkle
loom. It’s a relaxed friendly class with plenty of assistance.
