Are you an inkle weaver looking for a new technique to learn? Learning to weave turned krokbragd is a good one. This warp-faced guitar strap will make the musician in your world happy while giving you the gift of learning something new.
A good “next step” for inkle weavers is turned krokbragd. Traditional krokbragd is woven on a floor loom, and finished pieces are used as wall hangings, coverlets, and rugs in Scandinavia. It is a dense weft-faced fabric that is based on a simple twill threading using three sheds. To adapt it to an inkle loom, “turn” the pattern and create a warp-faced fabric. This guitar strap is woven using traditional motifs, which tend to be very geometric. To weave krokbragd on an inkle loom, two heddle sets are added to the usual single set used for plain weave. Krokbragd is entirely loom controlled—the magic happens in the setup
Mix it up with blends that showcase fibers and your weaving at their best.
