Sacred textiles 3

Last night, I had a weaving wobble.
This morning, I got up and got out my wonderful cradle loom from the Vesterheim Museum. It’s absolutely marvelous.
The only problem is that it doesn’t come with a heddle.
I googled to find out who sells heddles that will fit it and found this: rigid heddle
and:
Harrisville looms replacement rigid heddle 7inch size
I took my handful of cut yarn and warped up the cradle loom and started weaving….
But I wasn’t happy with it, because it was too wide….
so I got out my graph paper and started re-drafting it
‘White out’ is my friend!
Okay, time to warp the loom again, and weave the narrower band……
there….. I like the narrower band better….
I’m not there yet…. will be warping the inkle -
the BIG inkle (not the little busted one!)
and starting again, and the next one will be much tidier………
