Backstrap Rigid Heddle Band Weaving
Jennifer Williams
Sunday PM
Traditional in many Scandinavian countries, the humble rigid heddle is used to weave beautiful inkle style bands. No complex tools or machines are needed to weave lovely warp faced bands. A cord around your waist, a warped rigid heddle, and you are ready to weave. Weaving on a backstrap rigid heddle is a tranquil experience as you are quite literally one with the loom. This workshop will teach you how to warp a rigid heddle and then to weave plain weave warp faced bands.
