A new inkle loom for Christmas!

A particular person on my Christmas list is getting this wonderful Schacht Inkle Loom from Santa Deb! Since the giftee has never done any weaving before, I thought it would be helpful if I warped it for her the first time. A good excuse to get it out of the box and play with it before wrapping it and sending it on, right? I couldn't keep my hands off it! So... I made some yarn heddles using unwaxed linen and then wound the two color warp on. Then I wove a cloth header in and wove a few inches of band (plain weave). Schacht has a couple of very helpful tutorials on YouTube. It took me about an hour to do all this. What fun! I hope my unnamed giftee enjoys it as much as I have, so far!
