The second in an instructional series on how to do tablet weaving using an inkle loom. This video contains a pattern variation for a narrow band found at Ladoga, Republic of Karelia, Russia, about 70 km east of St. Petersburg. It dates to the 10th-12th century and is part of a Norse settlement. There were a number of textiles found at this site, and this one I saw referenced () as Object #6. This is the second of the Laurel Kingdoms of the SCA series, celebrating the East Kingdom! Pattern for this piece can be found on my blog: , with the more difficult skip-hole version found at _______________________________________________________ Things people ask me about (affiliate links): Amazon Store Page (has books, sewing stuff, and weaving tools): - _______________________________________________________ Links! My Ko-Fi: My Facebook page: My blog: _______________________________________________________ I am not sponsored by any company, but if any of you are interested to know the materials I use: Tablet Weaving Pattern Generator: * Yarns: * Maysville Carpet Warp, which can be found at several different weaving supply places (I often use WEBS at ). It comes in more than 70 colors on an 800 yard spool for about $9, so it can be used in a number of projects and the price is very reasonable. * 20/2 silk from Eowyn de Weaver on Etsy. Each cone is $30 and comes in 18 different colors. There are also small 100 yard spools that run $5 each and comes in more than 2 dozen colors. * Pearl cotton, size 8, which can be found is most craft stores in a bunch of colors. Cards: * 2 1/2“ wide (63 mm) made on a 3D printer, a pattern designed by my husband. Free downloadable patterns of other tablets are available on Thingiverse (not my pattern--we are still working the kinks out of the design--:1806753) * 3 1/4“ from Robin & Russ Handweavers (which are, unfortunately, out of business) or from Schacht Spindle Company, which run $8 for 25 cards. I love these because they are colored on the edges and they are thin but very durable. Similar cards by Lacis are available on Amazon. For some weaving basics and the first weaving project, see the Oseberg video here: and the accompanying blog post: or visit the blog post about cards & yarns: For the entire raw video of warping the loom, about 30 minutes long, you can see that here: FYI: I threw the first pair of scissors away after the video. Many thanks, again, go to my best friend, HL Aenor de Pessac, for her fabulous editing skills and encouragement to work on this project. You're AMAZING! I couldn't do this without you!
