Tablet weaving is ideal for making a leash; it produces a sturdy band, and a loop for a handle can be woven right into the band.
Tablet weaving is ideal for making a leash; it produces a sturdy band, and a loop for a handle can be woven right into the band. Because each tablet can be manipulated independently of the others, you don’t have to rethread to weave different structures— all you do is turn the tablets differently.
The instructions in this article are for Spike’s leash with a split-loop handle and a band decorated with a warp-twined checkerboard design alternating with paw prints and his name woven in doublefaced tablet-weaving techniques. Spike’s leash uses a total of 30 tablets: 24 fourhole tablets for the design area plus three tablets on each side for a border. To design and weave a personalized leash for your own favorite canine companion, study the graphs for the paw prints (Figure 5, page 5) and use the alphabet and the blank graph in Figures 6 and 7 (pages 5–6) to chart the letters for your dog’s name.
